Christmas 2025
This Christmas we have been lucky enough to receive a grant, that will allow us to purchase Christmas foods for our client Christmas hampers! However, we would really appreciate if you could continue to donate from our general list (above), to help with our emergency food parcels. In December 2025, in addition to the Christmas hampers, we provided 370 emergency food parcels, feeding 1088 people.

We always welcome donations, and promise to use them to provide help to people in crisis. Occasionally we send food to other nearby food banks to support their work, particularly if they experience shortages. This ensures your donations go to help people wherever they are in Bristol.
Special collections
​
Schools and companies often have special collections for us at Harvest and Christmas time. We are usually able to come and collect the food from you. If you are interested in having a special collection for us, contact the office and we’ll send you out some collection posters.
