1. You donate.
2. We buy the food and take it to the food bank.
3. Coventry Food Bank distribute to families around Coventry.
Give a child a Christmas they deserve and help feed our city this Christmas.
The facts:
• It may come as a shock to know that in some parts of Coventry today, over 45% of our children are living in income deprived households.
• 1 in 5 of the UK population live below the poverty line.
• £882 average rent of two-bed flat in our city.
• 34,500 three-day emergency food supplies given to people in crisis in 2020/2021.
“The cost of living crisis is forcing people into impossible decisions because they simply don’t have enough money. Do they eat or buy other essentials such as school shoes for their kids?”
"Christmas can be an expensive time for everybody. For those already on a tight budget, the added expenses of increased fuel bills, the cost of living crisis and the pressure to buy Christmas presents, leads families and children to miss out on a Christmas Day dinner."
