In the week of March 9, representatives from several boards gathered around the table at Voedselbank Leiden. Together they share the responsibility of providing well-grown, fresh vegetables for people who cannot afford to buy them themselves.
Aligning efforts for greater impact
The meeting brought together board members from Stichting Leiden Oogst, Stichting De Groentedeler and Voedselbank Leiden. The goal was to better coordinate their efforts, both in terms of fundraising and in engaging local media.
The discussion quickly sparked many enthusiastic ideas. Among them was the plan to keep each other better informed about upcoming activities, to collaborate during special events, and to align the crop plan more closely with the needs of the recipients. Another proposal was to involve volunteers from the three organizations more actively in each other’s work. This would give them a broader understanding of what each foundation does and how their efforts contribute to supporting the clients of Voedselbank Leiden.
Moving forward with fresh energy
Following this meeting, the organizations will continue to strengthen their collaboration and meet regularly at board level. It was a valuable gathering of like-minded people that generated new ideas and renewed energy for the future of the foundations involved.
