17th October 2023

Update: Dec 14th: You've only gone and done it!

We've reached our target of 600 bags. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts ♥️ x
 

Help us by donating large sturdy Christmas themed bags!

This year we will be providing almost 300 Christmas Hampers of food to local families. The food for each hamper will be packed in two large sturdy Christmas themed bags which are then collected by families on our distribution day in time for Christmas. Each hamper consists of a variety of food that includes staples but also those extra treats that can help to make it such a special and memorable time of year for children and families alike.

The money raised throughout the year from our generous donors is being spent on the food and we need YOU to help us by providing festive bags to put this food in! We know from experience that these bags often get more expensive as it gets closer to Christmas, so if you can buy one or two now (or as many as you like), and leave them in the marked 'Dorchester Family Support' collection box at Dorchester Baptist Church, the Dorford Centre at the top of town near the Keep, we would be very grateful. We need to collect at least 600 bags.
