Stray Ferret Christmas Appeal hits £5,000 target in less than a week
There's been an overwhelming response to the Stray Ferret's Christmas Appeal for local food charity, Resurrected Bites.
Our target of £5,000 was reached over the weekend - less than a week after we launched the appeal. Public donations now stand at £7,638.
With Harrogate firm Techbuyer generously match funding the first £5,000 of public donations - it means our overall total is now £12,638.
Many of the donations have been given anonymously so whoever you are, we would like to thank you and everyone else who has generously given money in these difficult economic times.
THANK YOU!
But we keep going. As we have a few weeks to go before the appeal ends at midnight on Christmas Eve, we have now raised the overall target to £20,000.
This would give Resurrected Bites almost three months of operating costs, as each month costs the charity a minimum of £7,500 to run the cafes and grocery stores. If you want to know more about the charity please read the stories below.
