Christmas Gifts

18th December 2017

As we prepare for the final foodbank session before Christmas, we wanted to take the opportunity to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has supported us; throughout the year and also over the last few weeks.  Your generosity this year has enabled us to feed over 1,100 people in 2017.

The response to our reverse advent calendar appeal has been wonderful with more arriving every week.  We have been so touched to see the bags so beautifully decorated by the children who have been giving to the collection every day.

Schools, businesses, churches, political groups – the list of people and organisations who have stepped up this advent to help us to fight food poverty in our city has been amazing.

As well as gifts of food we have also received wonderful financial gifts, many given anonymously, and for these we are really grateful.  Giving in this way enables us to plug the gaps when shortfalls appear in the new year and beyond, and means we can direct the resources to where they are most needed.

And so from Doug, Kate, Anne and the team at The Whitehawk Foodbank we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and all the best for the new year.
