Award Winning Foodbank in manchester - helping to combat food poverty and hunger

A very Perry Christmas appeal 2023

​

Our 4th annual Christmas appeal saw referrals triple from previous years.

With limited funds we were unsure how many we could support but due to the kindness and generosity given to our charity we were delighted we could support ALL referrals made in 2023 which was 1,124 people (623 were children who were also supported with gifts and books to open on Christmas day).

​

Each referral received a full uncooked Christmas dinner hamper with all the trimmings and a treat bag filled with various Christmas snacks and any referrals with Children had age appropriate gifts and books included.

​

It was so lovely to see how happy families were, knowing they will have food over Christmas and families with children could enjoy Christmas without worrying that their child would wake up on Christmas day to no present from Santa. 

When you hear a child getting excited because they have food and a packet of their favourite bourbon biscuits, that is what it's all about. Putting a smile on people's faces who are going through hard times.

​

Thanks to all our amazing volunteers who have given time out of their day to help us sort through thousands of donated food and toys, bagging up parcels and delivering. You are the backbone of our cause, without you we simply wouldn't be able to achieve what we can.

​

Massive thank you to everyone who supported our Christmas appeal!
