Easter & Lent 2025

As we approach Easter, we find ourselves once again in need of your support. Christmas seems like a long time ago – and gone are the many donations which filled our warehouse after your generous response to our Harvest and Christmas Appeals.  However, our clients are facing hardship like never before – the huge increase in the cost of fuel and water, and the benefits system is stretched beyond breaking point.

In order to meet the high demand for food support at the moment, we frequently need to buy food to replenish our stocks.  Therefore, we take the liberty again of calling on you for help.  We urgently need the following items: 

• Milk (UHT),
• Fruit juice (long life),
• Tinned soup,
• Pasta sauce,
• Sponge pudding,
• Tinned tomatoes,
• Tinned vegetables,
• Tinned meat/fish,
• Tinned fruit,
• Rice/pasta,
• Instant mashed potato,
• Tea bags/instant coffee,
• Cereals,
• Jam,
• Biscuits/snack bars.

Other essentials we need are toiletries, nappies, dog/cat food, washing up liquid, laundry sheets/tablets.

And about 600 Easter eggs!!! (This will mean we can ensure no child in Epping Forest goes without an Easter egg due to their family’s financial circumstances).

As always, we would ask you to use our donation booking form to arrange delivery of your donations to our warehouse, at Unit 24, Oakwood Hill Industrial Estate, Loughton IG10 3TZ at the very latest by Monday, 24 March, by clicking on https://forms.gle/AKR8RGRzZpM3uduA9.

Please note that we will not be able to take delivery of donations for Easter after this date, as we will be embarking on our Easter Food In School Holidays Programme which is a separate programme we run for families in need during school holidays. 

There are loads of resources to help with your collection, just click on the links below!

Thank you so much for your continued support!  We look forward to hearing from you.
