We are still going!

Firstly, apologies for the long silence! We have been insanely busy with work, studying, starting a business, home improvements and of course keeping track of Abel! Rest assured, we have still been accruing items for donation each week – hopefully you all have been doing the same when you can! We finally donated our very large box full of old clothes, toys and miscellaneous kitchen items the other week which hopefully will be appreciated by those who will benefit.

We will be looking to donate our stash of food items very soon – a little delayed from our original intentions, but this has just meant that the stockpile has gotten bigger! We may even just hold onto it until Christmas time for a mega donation of year long stockpiling.

Have you been building a stockpile to donate? Have you already donated? Who has benefited from your generosity? We would love to hear what everyone has achieved so far this year. Hopefully we can all build some momentum heading into the Christmas holiday period.

Speaking of which, it’s only 4 months to Christmas, or 18 weeks. Still plenty of time to get friends and family to start their own stockpile and amass 18 items to donate to those in need at Christmas time. This is the time of year that people should not be without, and after donating our fist stockpile last year at Christmas time, we are looking forward to doing the same again this year.

 
On a final note, here are some interesting websites I have come across relating to urban agriculture and growing your own food – some eye opening ideas and accomplishments!
