A North Yorkshire rapeseed oil business has introduced a limited edition product to support its chosen charity of the year. The team at Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil is collaborating with HOPING (Helping Other People In Need Group) York Street Kitchen, aiming to raise over £5,000 for the organization.
HOPING York Street Kitchen is a volunteer-led initiative that prepares and distributes meals for individuals experiencing food poverty.
Fundraising Effort with a New Product
Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil has launched a new product, Lemon & Caper Dressing, to support HOPING York Street Kitchen. From each bottle sold, 35p will be donated to the charity. The dressing, created by Jason Thompson of Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil, is described as being packed with zesty flavor and a subtle sweetness, ideal for pairing with grilled fish, roasted vegetables, and salads. This product not only offers a delicious culinary experience but also contributes to a worthy cause.
The Impact of Donations
HOPING York Street Kitchen, which relies entirely on volunteers, serves around 300 two-course meals each Sunday to 70 to over 100 diners.
Additionally, the charity delivers food parcels to struggling families during the week. Jayne Venables, a trustee at HOPING, expressed gratitude for the partnership, highlighting how the Lemon & Caper Dressing enhances their meals and supports their mission to combat food poverty.
