🎸 Scottish legends Travis joined us for the “EAT THE BEAT” campaign, raising funds through their sold-out UK tour. Their efforts continue to inspire as donations pour in.

Looking Ahead to 2025
While we celebrate this year’s milestones, we know the demand for food banks remains at an all-time high, especially during the winter months. As we approach Christmas, your continued support is more crucial than ever.
Every donation helps families and individuals in need, ensuring they have access to the food they need when they need it most. From all of us at Bankuet, thank you for standing with us in the fight against food poverty. Wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a joyful New Year. Together, let’s make 2025 even brighter for those who need it most.
With gratitude,
The Bankuet Team
