Toys & Food Share Collection Service

Help us help others!

In recent years we’ve been holding a Christmas Collection Day and inviting everyone in our communities of Haxby and Wigginton to join in with the appeal. We also started taking in donations of food to help the local Haxby Food Share Project at the Memorial Hall.
