1. Giving makes us feel happy as identified in a study in Harvard Business School by professor Michael Norton. The study identified that giving makes one feel better in comparison to using the item for ones own benefit. Lets be ever willing to give 😄

End of another near-overwhelming foodbank day. On a busy day we’ve been delivering approx 25 food parcels. Today, amazing volunteers have packed 46 and our drivers are still out delivering. Too many people are struggling. 😞
Newcastle United superstar Allan Saint-Maximin has given his support to the city in an effort that'll help feed thousands!! A hero without a cape and another amazing individual who understands the importance of the fight against hunger!!! We all want to say thank you Allan! 🖤🤍
A powerful quote by the highly influential and honorary late Jacques Diouf. The fight against hunger shouldn't be one of choice but one of necessity. The spareable team, users and partnered foodbanks shall continue on this fight for justice. 💛

🎅The end of another year has come and what an amazing journey its been, all the way from the helping hand from the donors to the hard graft put in by the volunteers as well as the brilliance of the foodbanks we have been able to provide more food for people in need this year.
With the help of amazing donors spareable provided more than 14,000 meals to people who needed it the most in 2021.
So we would like to say a very special thank you to all those that have made this possible ❤️
