Reverse Advent Calendar
1st November – 24th November

Join us in our Reverse Advent Calendar this year by donating an item each day to help us create Christmas hamper bags for local families and individuals.

Every donation, big or small, will help make Christmas a little brighter for someone in our community.
Helpful Guidelines


Advent Calendars
If you are donating advent calendars, we would appreciate receiving them during the last two weeks of November, please.

Mince Pies
We would appreciate donations of mince pies with a best-before date after 25th December, where possible.

In-Store Donation Points
Our donation points will remain in local supermarkets.

Group donations can be dropped off at the Clevedon District Foodbank warehouse.

Supermarket Gift Vouchers
We will not be accepting Christmas gifts again this year, as they can be difficult to allocate fairly.

Instead, we would like to ask supporters to consider donating supermarket gift vouchers. These vouchers allow us to purchase food and other essential items for our Christmas hamper bags, helping us ensure that donations are distributed as fairly as possible.

As always thank you so much for donations made last week. If you’re in the position to donate anything to us to us we still are in need of:

Tins of soup
Tins of fruit
Tinned vegetables
UHT milk

Foodbank will be open as usual on Friday 16th October from 12-2pm

We will be operating as the foodbank normally does - if you have an issued voucher then we will try to help you with a food parcel and hopefully some advice.
Do remember that the fresh food stand is still running at No 4 Combe Road. "Fresh Food at No 4" (This is dependent on Brakes being able to deliver)
Our clients will be able to come to us for their food parcel and then go to No 4 for the fresh food or vice versa. For those who haven’t been there before you don’t need a voucher to access the fresh food but they do ask that you come if you actually NEED it rather than just because it’s food for free. It is also appreciated if you can bring your own bag.
Can we also remind people that if they need help please ring the Foodbank phone on 07379 891130.
This page is NOT MANNED 24/7 as we are run by volunteers. If you message or comment here it may be missed.
Thank you as always
