Be the reason someone celebrates Christmas without hunger.
This November, join our Reverse Advent Calendar and flip the traditional concept on its head. Instead of receiving a treat each day, you give one.
Add just one item each day throughout November to a box or bag, following our list of most-needed items. By early December, you’ll have gathered 24 essential items that will help local people facing hardship this winter.
We run the calendar in November rather than December because food banks need donations early to sort and distribute them before Christmas. Last winter we provided 25,600 emergency meals during December 2024 to January 2025, and we anticipate even greater need this winter.
Download our printable calendar and tick off each item as you go. This is perfect to do on your own, with your family, or why not get your workplace, school or community group involved?
