Christmas at the Foodbank
Hunger doesn’t stop for the holidays
While winter brings celebrations for many, it also brings added pressure for families already struggling. Budgets stretch thinner, heating bills rise, and the expectation to provide whether for festive meals or simply to keep warm can feel overwhelming.
For those facing hunger and financial hardship, this time of year doesn't bring relief. It brings anxiety.
Our mission stays the same: to ensure no one in our community goes hungry. This winter, we're working to keep our shelves stocked ensuring we can provide crucial emergency support to local people in crisis.
We can only do this with your help. Please read below to see how you can take part in our campaign and support your local community.
