Hitchin Food Provision Team is a group of local organisations and charities that usually come together at Christmas to provide vulnerable families in our area with a Christmas Hamper each year.

We came together at the start of the Covid-19 Crisis with the idea of providing a weekly hamper to families who suddenly found themselves in financial difficulty due to the situation; loss of employment, significantly reduced hours, furloughed, awaiting Universal Credits etc. Very quickly we realised that a weekly hamper was going to be too difficult logistically and may not meet the different needs of individual families so we changed our plan to provide supermarket vouchers.

We have now been providing supermarket vouchers since March 2020. We also, with your help, provided 158 families with supermarket vouchers and gift bags for Christmas.

Our aim now would be to support these families until the end of the school summer holidays 2021. We have funds to get us to April/May 2021.

Please help if you can.

The Team is made up of the following groups:-

Hitchin Partnership CIO, Hitchin Round Table, Hitchin Youth Trust, Rotary of Hitchin Tilehouse, Hitchin Volunteer Army, Zeo Church

In collaboration with Hitchin Food Bank and Feed Up Warm Up
