We are planning ahead this festive season, as the latest Trussell Trust figures show we will have our busiest Winter yet. Hundreds of emergency parcels are set to leave our warehouse throughout the Winter, so we are preparing early with a list of what’s happening throughout December…
Tesco Christmas Collection:
The Tesco Christmas Collection takes place between 30th November – 2nd December at Tesco Stairfoot, Hoyland and Penistone. We are thrilled that this collection will be returning this Christmas and can’t wait to see you all there. If you’d like to join us and volunteer at the collection, please email: [email protected] for more information.
Opening times:
Our Christmas and New Year opening times are as follows;
Friday 22nd December: OPEN 8:30am-12noon
Monday 25th – Wednesday 27th December: CLOSED
Thursday 28th December: OPEN
Friday 29th December: OPEN 8:30am-12noon
Monday 1st January: CLOSED
Tuesday 2nd January: OPEN
Donation deadline:
Due to how busy we will be over the festive period, we’d like to ask that the final day for bringing donations to our warehouse is Tuesday 19th December. If you have Christmas selection boxes, chocolate boxes or festive treats to donate, please aim to get these to us by Friday 8th December so we can make sure they go into food parcels over Christmas.
Where to donate:

Christmas campaign:
Get involved with our brand new Christmas campaign! 25 Days of Foodbank Advent Challenge is a fun way to donate our most needed items. You could collect one per day, buy the items in bulk, or even share the challenge with friends, family and colleagues! Click here to see our template: 25 Days of Foodbank
Donation pick-ups:
We have a very limited amount of collection slots available for large donations throughout November and December, which we will fill first come, first served. Please email: [email protected] as soon as possible to book a slot with us, we anticipate slots to disappear quickly.
