The lights are shining on Oxford Street, Christmas ads have started flooding our screens and we’ve already received our first donation of mince pies – which can only mean one thing at Brent Foodbank….it’s time to launch our Christmas Gift Voucher campaign!

We would like to give people needing the food bank at Christmas a store gift voucher to use just as they wish. So rather than donating a wrapped gift this year, please contribute to our campaign. We will then distribute store gift vouchers to people using the food bank at Christmas.

We started this campaign in Christmas 2020, a very difficult Christmas for many, and were astounded by the generosity and compassion of the wonderful people in Brent. As we face a challenging winter ahead, we’re hoping to build on the success of the two previous years and make this year’s campaign bigger and better!

The response we received last Christmas from food bank guests upon receiving an unexpected gift at a challenging time, from people in their community who may not know them but who care about them, was overwhelming. And with your support we would love to be able to offer people this extra gift along with their emergency food parcel this Christmas. So if you would like to brighten someone's Christmas, please donate!

Any remaining funds after purchasing the gift vouchers will go towards buying items for the food bank (such as food) to help Brent Foodbank operate and continue to support people locally who are unable to afford the essentials.

From everyone at Brent Foodbank - thank you!
