Christmas Appeal 2024 – Help Us Spread Joy This Festive Season!

7th December 2024

 

As we approach the holiday season, we are reminded of the importance of community and the spirit of giving. This Christmas, we are reaching out to our wonderful community to help us support those in need.

The Christmas period can be especially challenging for those on a low income, as additional costs like heating and fuel stretch already tight budgets. Behind closed doors, many families and individuals struggle to make ends meet and cover these essential expenses.

Ways You Can Help:

Donate Non-Perishable Food and Non-Food Items

We need things like canned goods, pasta, rice, and long-life milk. Extra items such as Toiletries, baby products, household cleaning products and pet food, for four-legged friends, are also really helpful and greatly appreciated.

Since it’s the festive season, we welcome donations of Christmas goodies. We put together special Christmas parcels with items like selection boxes and hot chocolate, alongside alcohol-free mince pies, and Christmas puddings. With these goodies, we aim to to make the season a little brighter for those in need.

Monetary Donations

Financial support helps us buy food and other essentials. Visit our Donate Money page to see how you can make a donation and help us continue our vital work.

Christmas Shopping List

We have created a Christmas shopping list to help guide your donations while you’re are out shopping.

Shopping at Asda Tesco, Sainsbury’s Wrexham stores? You can donate food in the collection bins in these stores which are usually located just beyond the tills as you finish your shop. If you’re not sure where, just ask a member of staff.

Heading to the Wrexham game on 14th December?

Join us for a special food collection at the Wrexham vs Cambridge match! You can find us on Dragon’s Square, Mold Road Stand. If everyone brings a tin or an item from our essentials list, imagine the impact a stadium full of people can make!

The Gift of Giving

Spread the joy of giving by asking friends and family to donate food to our food bank instead of giving gifts. We’ve made it easy with our donation slips, which you can send to your loved ones.

Host a Food Collection

As Christmas gatherings are in full swing, why not add a touch of giving to your celebrations? Encourage everyone to bring one item from our essentials list to donate. It’s a fantastic way to come together, spread holiday cheer, and make a meaningful impact in our community.

Where to donate:

Drop off your food donations at our warehouse at Unit 3, Edwards Enterprise Park, Rhosddu Industrial Estate, Wrexham, LL11 4ZA. We’re on Tuesdays and Fridays from 9:00 to 15:00 , and Thursdays from 10:00 to 13:00. The last day for donations before the warehouse closes for Christmas will be 20th December.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, makes a significant difference in the lives of those struggling to make ends meet. Your generosity can bring nourishment, comfort, and hope to families in our community this Christmas.

Thank you for your incredible support and for helping us spread joy this festive season. Have a very Merry Christmas!
