Christmas 2025 at Salford Foodbank

Winter is often the most difficult season for people on a low-income as finances are stretched to cover additional costs such as heating. Hidden behind closed doors, there will be families and individuals who find it difficult to cover the extra expenses over the festive season.

However, this is also a season of great generosity, when we know people across our community want to reach out and offer their support.

Take a look at all the ways you can support Salford Foodbank this season…..

Christmas Goody Bag Project

We’ll be running our Christmas Goody Bag project again this year to help spread festive cheer to people in need across Salford. Alongside our regular food parcels we offer a Christmas Goody Bag filled with festive chocolates and treats. It may seem like a small offering, but for those facing crisis and poverty these items are often a luxury they just cannot afford.

• Mince pies
• Tubes of sweets
• Choc coins
• Christmas puddings
• Crackers, twiglets or festive crisps
• Festive hot chocolate

We ideally need these items as soon as possible, but at the latest by Friday 12th December. 

Reverse Advent Calendar

Our Reverse Advent Calendar asks you to give each day in Advent, rather than opening a chocolate advent calendar! Download our 2025 Christmas Reverse Advent Calendar , add the requested item to a box each day, then deliver to the Foodbank by Monday 22nd December. A great activity to get children involved in – we welcome children (along with their parent or guardian) to deliver donations and take a peek into our warehouse!

General Christmas Donations

As well as Christmas treats, we will also need all the regular food we include in our food parcels. Click the link to download our Salford Foodbank Collection Point Poster

All donations can be dropped direct to our warehouse at 4 Kansas Avenue, Media City, Salford, M50 2GL. There’s plenty of free parking around our warehouse for you to pull up and drop off. We are open weekdays 9am-3pm.

Take a look at this link for more details regarding how to give – for example you can order toiletries for us via our Amazon Wish list
