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!
