Thanks for visiting our new Go fund page where we hope to raise a further £5000 to continue the work of the York Supper Collective.

Here is how we work, it's really quite a simple plan...

* Amazing restaurants and cafes across York offer their help by producing top quality meals to heat up at home.

* Your generous donations pay for the costs of the ingredients and packaging (in some cases, the cafes and restaurants don't even want reimbursement. Legends)

* Volunteers drop of the meals to people in need, in all weathers and give a bit of chat. This bit is quite important, as sadly, in many cases it may be the only human contact that they have received in days

That's it. I said it was simple!


What we DON'T waste your money on...

* Admin - everyone donates their expertise and time for free

* Logos, merchandise, headed paper and any other crap like that. We just don't need any of that stuff

* Staff, utilities, an office. This project relies on a LOT of good will from really good people


Quick recap of what your money has paid for so far...

Over 30,000 meals so far have reached people in need since last March

A brilliant Christmas Day campaign courtesy of the Hog & Apple and many local volunteers

We have just finished our second NHS campaign, where we have fed the heroes at the ED, ICU and otherYDH  depts. everyday for several months each time. Partly to feed and partly to boost morale by giving the staff something nice to look forward to in the break of their long stressful shift

Working with Choose 2 Youth, a fantastic charity working with young adults that have additional needs. These amazing young adults are helping to make many of the meals that go out to the vulnerable - this gives the guys a chance to learn vital cooking skills as well as helping them grow in confidence knowing that they are contributing to feeding nutritious meals to those in need

£10k on Morrisons Christmas Gift Cards. This year, we approached a number of organisations and charities that work with vulnerable families and gave them Supermarket Gift Cards to hand out to families in need. We chose the gift card option so that it would give families freedom and dignity to make their own choices at a financially stressful time of year 

Some of your favourite restaurants and cafes that have and in many cases, continue to help us regularly with super tasty, nutritious, sexy meals...

Sadly, the effects of Covid will leave an impact on the most vulnerable in our communities for the foreseeable future. We want to have the best possible fund so that we can keep providing help wherever it is needed.

We'd really like to continue our work with Clements Hall, Collective Sharehouse and Choose 2 Youth, but this relies on your generous donations. Thanks for reading, thanks for your continued support and thank you all for your generous donations
