However, this year, it is expecting an increase in demand, meaning that donations are needed more than ever before. A spokesperson from Newquay Foodbank said: “The crowdfunding campaign will run for six weeks, starting at the beginning of October. “The funds raised will be used to purchase food items and other essential goods that people need this Christmas.
“We have several different parcel options, catering for individuals, couples and families. Each parcel will provide enough food to last for several days, ensuring that everyone has a nourishing and festive meal.” To ensure that no one goes hungry this Christmas, Newquay Foodbank is looking to raise £5,000 through its Christmas Crowdfunder campaign.
To break things down, here’s how much each food parcel costs to produce: Each food parcel contains: The funds raised will be used to purchase food items, toiletries, and other essential goods to include in Christmas food parcels, alongside our standard food parcels. Individuals and organisations looking to support the campaign can donate directly to the Crowdfunder page. Additionally, the foodbank is accepting donations of non-perishable food items and toiletries at our drop-off locations throughout the community.
“We are grateful for the generosity and support of our community. Every donation, no matter how small, makes a significant difference in the lives of those who rely on our services,” the spokesperson from Newquay Foodbank added. For more information about the campaign and how to donate visit www.
