This winter, we are asking residents and buisnesses to join together to support our Winter Boost Project that helps the work of Feeding Liverpool and our member charities that provide emergency and community food support in the region as we work towards Good Food For All.

It isn’t right that anyone should need to use a foodbank. Sadly many in our city do, with over 2,700 emergency food parcels being given out every week in Liverpool.

At Feeding Liverpool, we continue to camapign to end the root causes of poverty whilst ensuring people have good food at points of crisis.

Since 2020, we have partnered with some of Liverpool’s largest emergency food networks and providers to boost their emergency parcels with fresh fruit and vegetables over the winter months (December – March).

Last winter, we boosted 16,333 parcels, supporting 14,188 people – including 4,320 children.

Beginning in December 2024, we will again be partnering with member organisations to support people in crisis this winter. The Winter Boost Project aims to improve the quality of emergency food parcel provision during the winter months for households experiencing an acute food crisis and increase the quantity and quality of household diets during this period – including boosting vital vitamin and mineral intake.

How you can support the project:

• You can make a donation to our appeal, which will run from December from March. Individuals will be able to donate through this Just Giving Page. Organisations can do the same or alternatively contact Gentian Khan for other ways to make a donation.
• You can share our appeal with your friends, colleagues and networks by downloading this poster and displaying it at your place of work, or sharing your support via social media with this individual asset or this business asset.
• You can fundraise for our appeal through a targeted fundraising event during your organisation’s winter celebrations, such as a raffle or auction.
• You can add a donation onto a specific product you sell if this is applicable to your organisation.

Feeding Liverpool’s mission has already garnered the support of local businesses that share our goal of tackling food poverty. Emma Ottley, Business Development Manager from Hawksmoor, explains how Hawksmoor Liverpool will be supporting the appeal:

Hawksmoor Liverpool is always passionate to support local charities who are making big differences across the Liverpool region to those in need. The work Feeding Liverpool tirelessly do is something we are commited to supporting and we are proud to have them as our official Charity Partner. This Christmas period, we will be making a monetary donation for each mince pie sold at Hawksmoor Liverpool, and we can’t wait to see the fantastic work Feeding Liverpool to develop even further in 2025.

If you’d like to support the Winter Boost Project and our broader work towards Good Food For All, please give through our appeal or contact Gentian Khan.
