Support Wrexham Foodbank This Lent

In the coming 6 weeks, as the Church marks the season of Lent, Wrexham Food Bank will provide emergency food parcels for local individuals and families facing hardship. The soaring cost of living is driving record numbers of people on the lowest incomes to their food bank – and the amount of help needed is outstripping the donations we are receiving. It’s not right that each year we’re seeing more people than ever needing emergency food.

Take Part in the Lent Calendar

This Lent, we’re inviting the Wrexham community to take part in our Lent Calendar Challenge – a simple but powerful way to make a difference. The idea is simple: donate one food item for each of the 40 days of Lent.

The food bank is calling on the local Wrexham community to donate food, if they can, to ensure that they can continue to support everyone who needs their help. By the end of Lent, your donations will help ensure we can continue supporting local people in need. You can drop off your collected food donations at our food bank location throughout Lent. Please check our opening times and see if there are specific items we’re running low on before you visit.

Small Change, Big Difference

Will You Take Part in Our 40 for 40 Challenge This Lent? By giving up 40 pence a day for the 40 days of Lent, you can help support local individuals and families facing hardship this Easter.

It’s easy to take part:

1. Find an old jam jar or similar container and start collecting your daily 40p.
2. At the end of Lent, donate your savings by banking the contents and send a cheque (made payable to Wrexham Foodbank) together with this form to:
   • Unit 3, Edwards Enterprise Park, Rhosddu Industrial Estate, Wrexham, LL11 4ZA.
3. Encourage friends, family, or your church group to join in!

At the end of Lent, you can donate a total (£16), which could provide enough food to feed an adult for three days.

Please help if you can, by dropping off the food at:  Unit 3, Edwards Enterprise Park, Rhosddu Industrial Estate, Wrexham, LL11 4ZA by Friday 25th April.
