Christmas Kindness: Foodbank's Reverse Advent Calendar
7 Dec
Summary
- Foodbank uses reverse advent calendar to solicit donations.
- Items requested include food, Christmas treats, and warm clothing.
- A toy appeal also runs alongside the reverse calendar.

As the festive season approaches, the Redcar Area Foodbank is launching an innovative reverse advent calendar campaign to gather essential donations. This unique initiative encourages community members to contribute daily items, shifting the focus from receiving to giving during December. The foodbank highlights the ongoing need for support, especially with rising heating costs impacting families.
The campaign specifically requests a variety of goods, including everyday essentials, festive treats like cranberry sauce and custard, and practical items such as socks and scarves. These contributions are intended to provide comfort and a touch of Christmas spirit to those receiving food parcels. The generosity is aimed at ensuring everyone can experience some festive cheer, regardless of their financial situation.
In addition to the reverse advent calendar, the foodbank is also organizing a toy appeal to further assist local families during the holiday season. This dual effort underscores the significant demand and the foodbank's commitment to making a meaningful difference in the community's Christmas celebrations.
