Fill a festive table this Christmas

As Christmas lights start to twinkle, many families are facing dark evenings and empty cupboards. Your kindness can help food banks give families the food they need, when it matters most.

Make Christmas brighter for someone in need

Every pound you give supports the items food banks ask for. The real, requested supplies that make a difference. Here’s how your gift could create a festive moment:

Christmas wishes from food banks on the frontline

Hear from Becky (C3 Church Food Bank, Cambridge), Ben (Manchester Central Foodbank) and Heidi (Manchester South Central Foodbank) as they share their Christmas wishes — from the support their communities need to the hope they want to bring this season.

When you give, you’re not just donating food, you’re restoring joy, dignity and community. These stories show how your gift could make a festive difference.

No one should face an empty table this Christmas

Last year, food banks across the UK distributed over 3.1 million emergency food parcels — almost double what they gave just five years ago. This winter, that number is expected to rise again as families face higher bills, colder homes and growing uncertainty.

Your donation helps food banks keep pace with demand, providing the right food, at the right time, to the people who need it most this Christmas.
