Vital food support

To all who sent in a total of 62 Reverse Advent Calendar boxes of tins, packets and toiletries - thank you! They are a real lifeline to people needing vital food support.

Your donations are a huge help to the food bank as they provide parcels to people in need through the new year. With demand so great and stocks now depleting, we would be grateful for your continued support. Apart from good quantities of pasta, baked beans and soup in stock, the shelves are emptying.

The statistics above are the result of the city council's Food Justice Network City-Wide Food Aid Count 2025. They indicate the number of people needing vital food support over a period of one week in Birmingham.
