Am I annoying you all yet, I'll stop posting when you all have joined the raffle to help the food bank, this is the least reaction I've ever had to one of my raffles so far so I'm going to keep pushing till you all join, I'll be annoying π€£π€£
Anyway nipped farmfoods and picked up a few tins out of my own pocket :)
π JO & CO SUMMER FOOD BANK RAFFLE & DONATION DRIVE π
It's been a little while since we've done a charity raffle, so I think it's time for a big one!
With the summer holidays starting, food banks are under even more pressure as many families struggle with the extra cost of providing meals during the break. I'd love for the amazing Jo & Co community to come together and make a real difference.
Every penny raised will be used to buy food and essential items for Wigan Foodbank, alongside any donations we collect.
β€οΈ You can help in three different ways:
ποΈ 1. Enter the raffle
Tickets are Β£2 per number.
Rather than choosing your own numbers, they'll be allocated in order as payments come in. For example:
- First person to buy 5 numbers receives 1β5
- Next person to buy 2 numbers receives 6β7
- And so on until all numbers have been allocated.
The raffle will close on Friday 31st July, and I'll keep updating the list so everyone can see which numbers have been assigned.
π· 2. Make a donation
If you don't need a Jo & Co voucher but would still like to support the cause, you can simply make a donation. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will be added to the final amount we spend at the food bank.
π₯« 3. Donate food or essential items
If money is a little tight, that's absolutely okay. Food and household essentials are just as valuable.
Items that are always appreciated include:
π₯« Tinned foods
π Pasta, rice and other long-life cupboard items
πΆ Pet food
π§Ό Toiletries and hygiene products
π§΄ Cleaning products
πΌ Other non-perishable essentials with a long shelf life
I'm happy to collect donations when I'm out picking up or dropping off dogs, or you're welcome to drop them off at my house if you live nearby.
I'll also be contacting the food bank to find out what they're currently most in need of and will post an updated list.

Just a quick note: π
These aren't my usual Jo & Co bank details. I'm using my personal account purely to keep all of the raffle money and donations together in one place, making it much easier to keep track of everything raised.
If you accidentally send your payment to my Jo & Co business account instead, don't worry at all β I'll simply transfer it across. I just wanted to let everyone know why the account details are different this time.
Thank you so much for your support! β€οΈ
Thank you to every single person who supports this. Whether you buy a raffle ticket, donate a few tins, or simply share this post, you'll be helping local families who need it most.
Let's see what the Jo & Co family can achieve together. β€οΈπΎ
