Provide a lifeline this winter
No one wishes for a food parcel at Christmas.
This Christmas tens of thousands of people will need a food parcel for the first time.
People like Jodie*, who after receiving an unexpected Council Tax bill, couldn't afford food for her family last Christmas.
When Jodie was referred to a food bank, she received emergency food and support at a time when there was little left in the cupboard. Jodie's experience at the food bank helped her feed her family at Christmas. And the kindness she was shown made her feel seen, heard and valued.
By giving today, you can help ensure more people receive the same vital support when they need it most.
Despite everything I tried, my children would have gone hungry last Christmas – were it not for a local food bank.
Your gift could help change someone's life
When you give today, you'll help to ensure food banks can continue to offer dignity, hope, and support to people like Jodie.
