To improve our ability to ensure that all our clients can be supported, both to have a better Christmas and for our on-going work into 2025
Gloucester Foodbank helps thousands of clients each year. We provide three days of emergency food and toiletries for individuals and families facing financial crisis. Our client base is diverse and varied, each household is referred by one of our referral agencies and issued a voucher which can be exchanged for a food and essentials parcel. We also support clients with an in-house Financial Inclusion service to hope to end their need for our support.
Christmas can be the hardest time of the year for many reasons financially, meaning we will see a steep rise in need for our support over the course of the coming weeks and months.
We are asking for your help, raising key donations to ensure we can continue our service and meet the needs of our clients across Gloucester, Brockworth, Churchdown and surrounding areas. The kind team at Aviva will be matching each donation you provide, £1 for every £1 donated to our campaign which is capped at £250 per donation.
We like to bring a little joy to our clients over Christmas, providing Festive Hampers with additional goods in to help those in need connect with the happiness that Christmas time brings.
With your help, we can make Christmas special. Donate today and contribute to seeing no one go hungry this winter.
