💚 But there's good news! For the next two weeks, every pound you donate will be DOUBLED thanks to our match-funding pledge!

That means your donation can go twice as far and help us get over the line before our deadline on 15th November.

🎃 Halloween fun at Kingsmead! 👻

We’re here at Active Life - Kingsmead Leisure Centre for their Community Day, also raising awareness of the work of Canterbury & District Food Bank, collecting donations and having plenty of fun along the way!

There’s lots going on, from bouncy castles to games and prizes, and it’s lovely to be here alongside Kent Family Hub, helping local families find out about the support available to them.

If you’re nearby, come along, say hello and give our prize wheel a spin!

💚 A huge thank you, Chestfield! ⛈️

A massive thank you to all the wonderful customers at Sainsbury’s Chestfield who were so generous with their donations this morning , and to our brilliant volunteers for braving Storm Boelo!

Despite the wild weather, we had such a fun morning, with plenty of laughter, chocolate and an overwhelmingly positive response from everyone! 🍫😊

Thanks to your kindness, we’ve collected lots of much-needed food for our holiday hunger parcels, which will be going out to local families during next week’s school half-term.

As the weather turns colder, your generosity is vital in helping us support local people and families through difficult times.

Thank you to everyone who made today such a positive and successful morning 😊😊

🍂 A huge thank you for your Harvest donations! 🍂

We’ve received so many wonderful Harvest donations this year, including this fantastic collection from St Stephen’s Junior School this week! We also collected another brilliant donation from the Infant School.

As the weather turns colder and we head towards the winter months, these generous donations are helping us stock our shelves and prepare for what is always a busy time of year.

A huge thank you to all the schools, churches, community groups and individuals who have supported us this Harvest. Your kindness and generosity make a real difference to local people and families facing hardship.

Thank you for helping us be there for our community this winter! 💚
