You can also take part in a Reverse Advent Calendar – either collecting Christmas items in November and then donating by 5th December OR you can collect the items we need all year round and donate in January!

Thank you for thinking of those who are struggling in the run up to Christmas. We provide emergency food support all year round, thanks to the generosity of people across Bristol and beyond.

In December last year we gave out 614 emergency food parcels providing more than 14000 meals during this period alone.

During this season we also love to try and provide a few extras which can make an enormous difference to families facing hardship.

No matter how much you are able to share, we would love for you to stand with us in making this support possible again this year!

Please make sure all donations are long life, unopened, in-date and don’t need to be refrigerated. We would really value all donations by Friday 5th December to make sure we have enough time to process them and distribute in time for Christmas!

Individuals families, churches, business and community groups can all help in these ways:

1.  You can donate food bought at any of the supermarkets we have donation bins
2. You can buy a Christmas Bundle for a Family of 4 or an individual through our online shop. These bundles will be delivered directly to us, and then packaged up and sent out to our clients.
3. You can purchase Argos Vouchers and a card and get them to our office in Easton (C/O Provisions Team, inHope, 32 Stapleton Road, ) – unsealed and we will distribute them to individuals and families before Christmas so they can buy toys and gifts
4. You can take part in a Reverse Advent Calendar – either collecting Christmas items in November and then donating by 5th December OR you can collect the items we need all year round and donate in January!
5. Share our Video appeal above!
6. Display our Poster to encourage donations from friends, neighbours or colleagues: Christmas 2025

You can bring the food to any of our outlets when open.

Please make sure all donations are long life, unopened, in-date and don’t need to be refrigerated. We would really value all donations by Friday 5th December to make sure we have enough time to process them and distribute in time for Christmas!
