Christmas shopping list showing all the items we urgenty need

It's the most wonderful time of the year - or at least that's what the song tells us.

But we know for many struggling households the joy of Christmas can be overshadowed by hunger and worries over making ends meet.

With your help we can shine a light into the darkness and ensure everyone enjoys a taste of Christmas by once again adding a festive flavour to our emergency food parcels.

We're asking you to support our efforts by donating something from our Christmas shopping list which includes:

Christmas cake 

Mince pies

Stuffing 

Tubs of chocolates 

Pickled onions 

Branston Pickle

Cranberry sauce

Boxes of chocolates 

Crackers for cheese 

Christmas pudding (alcohol free)

Donations can be left at our warehouse in Lowesmoor during opening hours or dropped off at one of our usual collection points dotted across the city. Use our search tool to find your nearest donation point
