Volunteers gave 549 hours to Hereford Food Bank in September.

That time covered sorting donations, packing food parcels, delivering to people across Hereford and supporting everyone who comes through our doors. Thank you to every one of you.

If you live in or near Hereford and can spare a few hours a week, we would love to hear from you: https://herefordfoodbank.co.uk/

🎄 Introducing our Festive Advent Calendars! 🎄

We’re often asked for our Christmas toy list, so this year we’ve brought it together with our two festive advent calendars to help our community support Hereford Foodbank over the winter months.

November Advent Calendar

Each suggested item donated in November will help us add a few extra treats and essentials to our emergency food parcels in December, helping us bring a little extra festive cheer to local households facing hardship.

December Advent Calendar will be about stocking Up for January

January can be a particularly difficult month for families, with Christmas behind us, bills to pay and winter still very much with us. Donations from our December calendar will help replenish our much-needed food supplies, so we can continue supporting local people through the winter.

Our Christmas Toy List

We’ve also included our much-requested toy list to help those who would like to make Christmas a little brighter for local children and families.

✨Get involved!

The calendars are a suggested list of items, so please choose what works for you. You could collect items with colleagues at work, share the calendars with friends and family, or organise a collection with your school, church or community group.

Every tin, packet, treat and toy makes a difference.

You can download the Calendars or Toy List via our website https://herefordfoodbank.co.uk/christmas-2026

565 parcels went to households where someone had a disclosed disability or additional support need, and 463 parcels included someone with a specific dietary requirement, meaning we often need to adapt what we provide.

Our work can also go beyond the food parcel itself, helping people connect with wider support where we can.

21/10/2026

Between January and 21st August 2026, Hereford Food Bank provided 1,529 emergency food parcels, supporting 2,926 people across Herefordshire.

217 of those parcels went to households where someone was in paid work. 160 were linked to homelessness, including people sofa surfing or in temporary accommodation. Having a job or a home doesn't always mean financial security.

Behind every parcel is a person who has reached a point where they simply don't have enough.

You’ll bring your professional knowledge and strategic insight to help guide the Charity, support good governance and explore opportunities for future development.

You don’t need previous trustee experience – just relevant skills, a commitment to our cause and a desire to make a difference.

A single parent came to us after falling behind on energy bills and rent, made harder when a relative and child needed to move in with them. We provided a food parcel and referred them to Severn Wye Agency for support with the energy debt.

The outcome: a £150 Warmer Home Discount cleared the energy arrears, a payment plan was set up for the rent, and food parcel support helped the family through.

As they told us: "Without support from you we wouldn't have been able to feed our children."

This is why Hereford Food Bank exists, to meet people with kindness, dignity, and the right support at the right time.

Urgent Appeal

Could you spare just 2 hours a week to help Hereford Foodbank?

We’re looking for Volunteer Drivers to join our friendly team and help us keep food moving to the people who need it.

Driving shifts are around 2½ hours, and we’re looking for both regular weekly drivers and reserve drivers who can step in when needed.

Why do we deliver emergency food parcels?
Sometimes people don’t have access to transport to get to us, or they live in rural areas where there is little or no public transport. Our volunteer drivers help make sure that a lack of transport doesn’t become another barrier to accessing emergency food.

Our drivers also help us collect food donations from collection points across Hereford and the surrounding area, helping us bring vital donations back to the foodbank.

🚐 We provide the van – you provide the driving!

📍 Driving around Hereford and the surrounding area

💙 Friendly team and full support provided

🚗 Full driving licence required

You don’t need to be a professional driver, just someone who is reliable, friendly and happy to lend a hand.
