Orkney Food Bank

On Tuesday 28th October we represented the school by visiting the Foodbank to see what happened to the food we donated after our Harvest Service at the school. Angus Ross from the Foodbank spoke at our assembly and invited us along. The Foodbank is situated on Junction Road, in the old Jewson's buildings.
The first thing that surprised us was the size of the building and how it is set out with tables and chairs, comfy couches to relax on, and a children's play area. The walls are brightly painted and there is information on all sorts of things!

Baskets of donated food.

Food is sorted by date and stored on shelves in the storeroom.

There are even recipe cards on the tables to give clients ideas for cheap, healthy and easy to make meals.

Orkney zerowaste have provided information points and games.

There is a selection of clothes for those in need.

The Orkney Food Bank have a collection point at Tesco where you can donate food and more information can be found on their website at
