Do you do donations to schools or charities?
Fresh Meats actively supports numerous local schools, sporting clubs, charities, and other organisations every year, some as long-term commitments and others as one-off events. While we receive multiple requests from many worthwhile causes every week, it is not possible to support all of them at the requested time. You are welcome to send us a message on the Contact Us page so that we are aware of your request as we review our sponsorship budget on an ongoing basis.
