Shops and restaurants in the Harrogate district that will close this week due to lockdown are being urged to donate their leftover food to needy people.

Resurrected Bites, a not-for-profit group that aims to fill bellies not bins, provided weekly food parcels for 1,350 people in October.

It now hopes to generate enough donations to help vulnerable people during the second lockdown, which starts on Thursday.

Knaresborough businesses Mother Shipton's Cave and Scarlett's Vintage Tea Rooms have already donated food.

Michelle Hayes, director of Resurrected Bites, told the Stray Ferret:

"The vulnerable people we have helped already have called us a life-saver. Businesses will be sad that they have to close but they are happy to help.
"At the moment we have around 180 people on our system that we help. Many were worried about the end of furlough so are happy that it will continue for a month."

When the March lockdown started, Resurrected Bites closed its cafes at St Mark's Church in Harrogate and Gracious Street Methodist Church in Knaresborough and instead delivered food to those in need.

While it is still delivering food to those in need, its cafes will remain closed. The charity expects its cafes will remain closed until Easter next year.
