4 Children bring food into school for harvest
People need food all year round, not just at harvest time. The best food that people can bring is food that will last a long time – food that comes in tins, packets or jars. Fresh food may spoil before it can be given out. Company Limited by Guarantee. Registered in England and Wales. Reg No Registered Charity No VAT Registration No

5 Many churches also give the food from their harvest festival celebration to BCM.

8 The food is checked for freshness
All food has a ‘best before’ or ‘use by’ date on it, to tell us when we should eat the food. We want the people who come to us to have good food to eat and so we only give away food that is in date.

The same types of food are put together. This makes it easy to find the food we are looking for. Company Limited by Guarantee. Registered in England and Wales. Reg No Registered Charity No VAT Registration No
