Halt Hunger this Harvest

Organised by Southend Foodbank

This Harvest, help us raise £10,000 to keep the foodbank running. Your donation won’t just fill shelves — it will cover the essential costs that keep our service going, like fuel, storage, staff time, and logistics.

Closes 30/10/2025

We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. We provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of the Trussell Trust network of foodbanks working to combat poverty and hunger.

Story

Support Our Harvest Appeal – Help Keep the Foodbank Running 🌾💚

This Harvest season, we’re asking for your support to help us raise an ambitious £10,000 — not just for food, but to help cover the core running costs that keep our foodbank open and operating.

While food donations are vital and always appreciated, it’s the behind-the-scenes essentials — like fuel for collections, electricity for storage, rent for our premises - all those elements that make it all possible for us to run.

Without this vital infrastructure, we simply couldn’t deliver food to those who need it most.

By donating to our Harvest Appeal, you’re helping us keep the lights on, the vans running, and the shelves stocked — ensuring we can continue supporting local families through tough times.

🧡 £10 could help towards putting together cold packs for those who don't have cooking facilities readily available

🧡 £25 could help cover fuel for the van for a day’s food collections

🧡 £50 could contribute towards our warehouse and monthly storage costs

🧡 £100+ could support staffing and coordination of emergency food parcels

This Harvest, your generosity helps sustain our service and strengthen our impact.

Please donate and help us reach our £10,000 target. Every penny keeps us going.
