During January and February 2023, Yorkshire Profiles were proud to team up with YorkMix Radio to help raise over 1 tonne of food tins for local foodbanks to help tackle food poverty in the York and Selby area. There were over 10 donation locations setup across the City and the target was exceeded before the campaign came to an end.
Yorkshire Profiles are primarily known for quality assured laser cutting and metal fabrication, but they also take pride in being sponsors of, and taking part in, a number of charitable events across the calendar.
At the start of this year, focus has been on foodbanks that are under increasing pressure as inflation continues to soar. The campaign simply seeks to have donation locations setup in key areas to encourage people to drop a spare tin or two as part of their frequent shop. The tins are then brought to a central location at YorkMix where they are counted and then distributed to a number of foodbanks across the area including a new foodbank specifically for Ukrainian refugees.
Yorkshire Profiles looks forward to working closely with local radio YorkMix to ensure that future campaigns are equally as successful.
