Can you help us with our Reverse Advent Calendar this November please?

You can use our Reverse Advent Calendar throughout November in any way you chose. Some use it as one of our normal ‘shopping lists’ of items that we need, and select one or two items to buy and donate this November. Some groups or families buy an item or more for each of the 24 days of the calendar, and then donate them all towards the end of November. We have received tremendous support and donations through the Harvest period, but the need for our support and services continues to be very high. We recognise that things are tough financially for many people this winter, so please only donate if you can afford to do so.

Items will be used well into 2025 so long ‘best before dates’ are good – although it would be lovely to be able to bring some Christmas cheer with some Christmas related treats.

If you wish to deliver items directly to our warehouse please call or email our office first on 01634 757057 or [email protected] to arrange a slot. If you receive the answerphone when you call, please do leave a message and we will call you back as soon as possible. Please do not just turn up as we want to keep everyone safe and we do not want you to have a wasted journey.

It is also worth pointing out that all donations are always split up into individual items to be used in our normal food parcels, with us adding in Christmas items in December. We do not give out whole donated ‘hampers’, so please do not worry about wrapping or boxing-up or decorating your donations – in fact, it is much easier for us if you do not.

If you are unable to help us with donating food but are able to donate funds, we would be very grateful as are facing huge increases in running costs. Funds can be donated via the red ‘Donate’ button at the top of the page

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR ONGOING SUPPORT 😊
