March and April are the months when volleyball clubs across the Netherlands come together to support the Food Bank. At Sovicos, we are doing our part! From Friday, 7 March, to Friday, 4 April, we are organising a donation drive to collect as many essential products as possible for those in need.
After the holiday season, Food Bank supplies quickly run low, while many families require extra support during this period. That is why, together with our members and supporters, we aim to replenish these stocks and help those who need it most.
How does it work?
Starting from Friday, 7 March, a donation box will be placed in the small canteen of Sporthal Steenwijklaan. You can drop off non-perishable goods there on Wednesday and Friday evenings. Every item, no matter how small, can make a difference for a family in need.
What can you donate?
Food Items:
🍝 Pasta, rice, legumes
🥣 Breakfast cereals, oats
🥫 Canned goods (vegetables, fruit, soup, fish)
🥛 Long-life milk (dairy or plant-based)
☕ Coffee, tea, sugar
🍞 Sweet spreads (jam, peanut butter, chocolate spread)
🫒 Oil (olive, sunflower)
🌿 Herbs, stock cubes, pasta sauce
🥞 Flour, pancake mix
🍫 Treats for children
Non-Food Items:
🧴 Shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste, soap
🩸 Sanitary products (pads, tampons)
🍼 Baby food, nappies, baby wipes
🧼 Dishwashing liquid, laundry detergent
Why take part?
This initiative is not just about donating food and hygiene products; it is also about coming together as a community. Sport brings people together, and as a club, we want to show that we support each other both on and off the court.
Will you help?
Next time you come for training or a match, bring an extra item and place it in the donation box. Together, we can ensure that families in our region receive the support they need!
Let’s make this initiative a great success together!
