🎄 Yes, it’s only the start of November… but we’re already thinking about Christmas!

At Oldham Foodbank, we like to plan ahead — and during December, as well as our regular emergency food parcels, we love to include some festive treats that many wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford.

If you’re able to pop an extra item or two in your trolley, we’d be so grateful. Every mince pie, tin of biscuits or box of chocolates helps make Christmas that bit brighter for someone in need.

🗓️ Please donate by the end of November if possible, so we can get everything packed in time.
🚫 Non-alcoholic items only, please.
