Sponsor a shelf Initiative

On Thursday, 15th May, we hosted a “Sponsor a Shelf” event, a collaborative project aimed at supporting the Antrim Food Bank. Local businesses gathered to learn how they could contribute to providing emergency food for families facing food insecurity in the area.

Guests were also delighted with delicious sweet treats from Born&Bred Waffles.

What is the “Sponsor a Shelf” Initiative?

The “Sponsor a Shelf” initiative invites local businesses to sponsor a shelf at the Antrim Food Bank, directly helping to stock it with essential food items for families in need. Donations from businesses ensure that the shelves are filled and that emergency food parcels reach individuals struggling with financial hardships due to job loss, illness, or other unforeseen circumstances.

The initiative’s event on 15th May was an inspiring moment, showing that when local businesses come together, they can make a real, positive impact on the lives of people in their community.

BVM Systems Ltd: Our First Sponsor

We are excited to announce that BVM Systems Ltd has become the first business to support the “Sponsor a Shelf” initiative. Their generous donation will help provide food to local families in need.

We hope that others will join BVM Systems in supporting this important cause. Every contribution, large or small, makes a significant difference.

Why Support the Antrim Food Bank?

The Antrim Food Bank plays a critical role in the community, providing emergency food parcels to those facing tough times. With the rising cost of living, food insecurity has become an even greater challenge in Northern Ireland, including Antrim. The Food Bank relies heavily on the support of local businesses, donors, and volunteers to continue its work.

By sponsoring a shelf, businesses are directly helping to stock the shelves of the Food Bank, ensuring that families have access to essential food during times of crisis.

How Can Your Business Get Involved?

Businesses will also receive recognition for their support through the Food Bank’s website and social media platforms.

The Power of Local Collaboration

The “Sponsor a Shelf” initiative highlights the power of local businesses working together for a common cause. In Antrim, community spirit is strong, and businesses play a key role in supporting their neighbours. Whether through donations, financial support, or raising awareness, every contribution counts.
