This Christmas, many families across the Midlands are still struggling to put food on the table, and too many children are going hungry when they should be enjoying the magic of the season.

When you think of Christmas, what do you picture? Is it the scrumptious feast to enjoy with the family, the chocolate coins in the bottom of your stocking, the loaded hot chocolate to warm up the cold nights? It is difficult to imagine a Christmas without food... but for thousands of people this Winter, this is a harsh reality.   

At FareShare Midlands, we see first-hand how hard this time of year can be for those already stretched to their limits. Families supported by our charity Food Members, like such as Provision House in Dudley, tell us of the impossible choices they face; between a warm home, a nourishing meal, or a small gift for their child. No one should have to choose between these. But together, we can make a difference. 

With your support, we can lighten the dark days ahead, ensuring no child goes without a meal, no parent feels the weight of choosing between food and warmth, and no older neighbour feels forgotten.

Together we can bring warmth and light this Winter.
