Winter Appeal

Campaign by Southend Foodbank

This Winter, help us raise money to keep the foodbank running. Your donation does more than stock shelves - it helps cover the essential running costs that make our work possible, like fuel, storage, and logistics.

Closes 28/02/2026

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

Winter Appeal: Help Us Keep the Foodbank Running this Winter🌾

This Winter, we face a tough challenge. We are aiming to raise in excess of £10,000 - not just for food, but to cover the essential costs that keep the foodbank functioning day to day.

It’s not just the food on our shelves, but behind the scenes there are unavoidable expenses: fuel for collections, rent for the building, and storage costs. Without these, we cannot get food where it’s needed most.

Your donation to our Winter Appeal isn’t just about tins and packets - it’s about keeping the doors open, the van moving, and the shelves stocked for the families who are relying on us right now.

Without this support, we cannot continue.

🧡 £10 Helps feed someone struggling this month

🧡 £30 Helps feed a family in crisis

🧡 £50 Helps keep our 8 Distribution Centres open to serve those in need.

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

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

Please donate and help us reach our target. Every penny keeps us going.
