We want to everyone to be able to celebrate this Christmas.
As we get ready for the festive season, we know that the costs of putting together a family celebration can put a lot of pressure on those who may already be struggling financially.
Every year, we put together Christmas Hampers that are distributed to those most in need. This includes long lasting food items and a supermarket voucher which can be used for perishable food and other items.
Join us as we show people that they are loved and not forgotten during this time. Let’s give them the opportunity to celebrate Christmas well.
Your donations allow us to make our food donations go further, purchase vouchers for perishables, cover the cost of materials, distribution and the various operational costs involved.
Long shelf-life food is donated via our various partners across Ipswich, all of which is collated centrally for packing. We also work with local supermarkets to supplement any gaps and provide vouchers for meat & other perishables.
We hold multiple packing events where our team packs the food items and voucher into a beautifully wrapped box. A hand written Christmas card finishes off the Hamper.
The Christmas Hampers are distributed in partnership with social services and key local charities, helping ensure your gifts go directly to those that are most in need in our community.
We’re incredibly grateful for any help that goes towards making Christmas happen for a family in need. There are a few different ways you can get involved: joining one of our fundraising quiz nights, donating food or money, or organising a collection through your workplace or organisation.
Each year, most of our hampers are filled thanks to the generosity of local businesses, schools and community groups. If you’d like to run a collection where you work, get in touch and we’ll send you a workplace pack with everything you need.Our appeal for this year has now finished, but we start preparing again in just a few months and donations are welcome all year.
