Christmas 2024 at Yeovil Lord's Larder Food Bank
At Christmas time, we give out Christmas Food items in our food parcels during December, to encourage people, and so that they may enjoy this festive period. Last year, Christmas 2023, The Lord's Larder was able to give out 407 food parcels containing Christmas food items, like mince pies, Christmas pudding, tins of ham, tins of salmon, Christmas sweets and biscuits, which went to help, 560 adults and 440 children, a grand total of 828 people in our local community during December. This Christmas we will be putting Christmas items again in our food parcels this December, so join us this year by donating Christmas Food items this year.
If you would prefer to make a financial gift at Christmas time see our how to donate webpage to explain how best to do that.
We will be collecting again in the end of October, and November 2024 for this coming Christmas, all Christmas food donations need to be with us by the end of November so as to get those items into parcels, if you would like to donate through out the year, please take a look at our year round shopping list on our Harvest Information Webpage.
Please note due to lack of space we cannot accept donations of toys, books, clothes or any other Christmas item other than food, sorry.
please consider the following points:
- Food needs to have a best before date beyond Christmas if we are to include it in a festive parcel.
- We start creating our seasonal parcels at the beginning of December, so please try to donate by the end of November if possible, if that is not possible, try and get your donations to the Larder well before Christmas, thank you.
- Please give us a call in advance if you intend to bring in large donations, so we can arrange volunteers to come in and help pack them away.
- All donations for The Lord's Larder can be dropped off at the Gateway Building, postcode BA20 1QN, Mon - Fri between 9-4pm, we are not open weekends. If you need help to carry your donations from the car to The Gateway, please call ahead on 01935 726576 to arrange. Please label the bags or boxes with your name, so we know who donated what.
