How you can donate to food hampers for people this Christmas

People looking to contribute to food hampers for the less fortunate this Christmas can now drop off donations at City Hall.

Bristol City Council is supporting the charity Feeding Bristol by becoming a collection point for people in the city to donate food to make sure that others do not go hungry this festive season.

Food collected will be mainly used to prepare free Christmas food hampers for those in need.

The food will be managed and distributed by FareShare South West to local community organisations and children centres in time for Christmas.

For the Christmas campaign, Feeding Bristol would like to provide treats and luxury items including:

  • Christmas biscuits and cakes
  • Christmas chocolates
  • Mince pies and Christmas pudding
  • Dried fruits and nuts
  • Tinned ham
  • Sponge puddings

They are unable to accept any alcohol, or chilled and frozen foods. But other staple ingredients are also appreciated.
