Harvest 2020
It is that time of year once again when Harvest is upon us. Sadly, harvest will be a very different experience for us this year. Usually we very much enjoy visiting lots of schools and churches giving talks about Jimmy’s and meeting all the wonderful people who so generously keep us going throughout the year with such kind donations.
This year we would like to ask for donations for not only our Assessment Centre, but also our wider support to our houses and those in floating support, therefore we have a wish list of both food items and everyday necessities we are always in need of.
Jimmy’s likes to support the community as much as it supports us, however with current guidelines it will be difficult to give talks this year, however we will be trying to say thank you in a different way.
If people would rather not donate goods, we do also have an Amazon Harvest Wish List which can be found here, items will be delivered straight to Jimmy's if select gift registry address on checkout.
Or donations can be made towards Harvest, you can read more on our Donate page on how to do this.
If you have a School/Church or other group who would still like to support us, please do let us know as we will be making a plan to ensure safe collection/delivery.
Harvest Wish List can be downloaded here
For all harvest enquiries contact Jimmy’s on 01223 576085 or sara@jimmyscambridge.org.uk
Thank you for all your kindness, help and support.
