πŸŽ„ Preparing for winter: How to donate thoughtfully this Christmas

5th November 2025

As the festive season approaches and the colder weather sets in, demand for food banks traditionally rises. At Hart Foodbank, we’re so grateful for the continued generosity of our community – your donations make a real difference to local families in need.

If you’re planning to donate this winter, here are a few simple tips to help us make the most of every item:

πŸ“¦ Tips for donating to us

  • Check expiry dates: Please only donate items with plenty of shelf life remaining.

  • Fresh or frozen food: We have some facilities to store these safely and for a long time, but please check with us if you have a large amount to donate.

  • Consider dietary needs: Gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, and halal options are always appreciated.

  • Donate early: Delivering your donations before December helps us sort and distribute parcels in time for Christmas.

Every tin, packet, and treat helps us support local people facing hardship this winter. Thank you for being part of our caring community.

🧑 Together, we can make this Christmas a little brighter for everyone.
