Reverse Advent Calendar 2023

Help make someone's Christmas this year and donate to Rugby Foodbank!

Foodbanks are bracing for the worst winter yet. Our Reverse Advent Calendar encourages you to ‘give’ instead of ‘receive’ with ideas for donations behind every door, so that, together, we can spread some Christmas joy!

You can download our Reverse Advent Calendar poster for displaying at your church, business, school or community group here:

Below is a full list of items we are encouraging people to donate this Christmas. While our warehouse isn’t restricted to just these items, this is what we feel might just help Christmas feel a little bit special for those who would have gone without otherwise. Please try and get your donations to Rugby Foodbank as early as possible so that we have time to distribute them to our clients – mid-December at the latest.

***Please can all donations be delivered to Rugby Foodbank by 11th December, thank you!***
