Christmas Hampers

Thank-you for considering giving a Christmas Hamper to someone in crisis.

If you follow our guidelines your gift will be spot on and will mean that we can get it to clients before Santa arrives.

CLOSING DATE FOR HAMPERS 11th DECEMBER

Use a large carrier bag and fill it with a selection of the following items:

  • Chocolate Christmas log or Christmas cake
  • Children’s Christmas chocolate e.g. selection box
  • Mincepies
  • After dinner/adult chocolate (no alcohol filled ones please)
  • Fancy sweet biscuits
  • Pringles or similar
  • Cheesy biscuits or similar
  • Nuts
  • Dried fruit (e.g. apricots, figs etc)
  • Tinned ham
  • Tinned tuna/salmon
  • Sweet pickles
  • Jam
  • Shower gel or shampoo
  • Christmas crackers

Please ensure that

  • there are no perishables in the bag
  • there is no alcohol including in puddings, cakes and sweets
  • all items have a use by date of 25th December or later
  • there are no home-made items

Gift wrapping items is a lovely idea – but it prevents us checking the best before dates and can mean that it is difficult to stack and store in our warehouse. Spend the money for wrapping paper on an extra selection box!

Drop your hamper off at Hattersley Baptist Church, Melandra Crescent, SK14 3RB on Tuesdays between 12 and 1pm or Fridays between 2-3pm. Alternatively put the bag in the foodbank collection box by the tills at Tesco Extra Hattersley.
