Salisbury care home donates to local food bank

Company news

 

To celebrate this year’s Harvest Festival, residents and team members at Care UK’s Salisbury Manor, on Shapland Close, welcomed the local community to donate their extra, unused or unwanted non-perishable food items to the home’s very own foodbank drop-off point.

Each year, Harvest Festival celebrates the time when crops have been gathered from fields and people can reflect and show gratitude for the food that they have. It dates back to when people relied on local crops for food and famers would give thanks for a good harvest.

The foodbank drop-off point was live at Salisbury Manor for a number of weeks, where it gathered dozens of items to be donated to Salisbury Pantry. The home also raised £144 selling cakes at the Salisbury Foodie Market, which was handed over with the food donations.

To celebrate Harvest Festival, Salisbury Manor adorned the home with autumnal decorations and held a church service with Emmanuel Church. Following the service, residents and guests indulged in harvest-inspired treats including pumpkin-shaped biscuits and pumpkin lattes. 

Skye Williams, General Manager at Salisbury Manor, said: “At Salisbury Manor, we are always looking for ways to give back and support our community and local charities, which is why we’re delighted to support the Salisbury Pantry.

“In these challenging times, we know many people may be struggling, and with Christmas fast approaching, it’s more important than ever to support foodbanks which provide a vital lifeline for many members of our local community. 

“We’d encourage those who have unwanted or unused items to do the same and donate to help those in need.”
