Foyle Foodbank Christmas Appeal 2025

Message from FOYLE FOODBANK

This Christmas, many families in our city are feeling the strain of rising costs, low incomes and winter pressures. Over the coming months we expect need to rise, and we’re preparing to respond with compassion and care.

Thanks to the generosity of schools like yours, last Christmas we provided hampers to over 1,000 households, filled with food, gifts and essentials. 

Message from a family you helped us support:

“Last Christmas, I didn’t know how we’d cope.  Poor health meant no income, and with four kids, the pressure was overwhelming. But Foyle Network Foundation/Foyle Foodbank stepped in—with food, support, and Christmas gifts. They gave us hope when we needed it most.”

We’d be grateful for your support again this year. Here’s how your school can help:

• Hold a collection using our attached Christmas List of most-needed items

To help us prepare hampers in time, please send or arrange collection by 5th December.

Thank you for the kindness your school community shows year after year. Together, we can make Christmas brighter for local children and families.
