At Reading Festival this year, festival goers were asked to donate any unwanted, non-perishable food at dedicated drop-off points around the site and over a tonne of food was collected by The Salvation Army!  

Yesterday a team of Festival Republic volunteers went along The Salvation Army in Reading to help pack almost 600 Christmas food parcels for local families and single people nominated by social services.

Melvin Benn, Managing Director of Festival Republic:  “It’s been a massive success - the food donation scheme is definitely here to stay and we will look to expand on this next year.”

Thanks to everyone who donated this year!
