Thank you so much to everyone who donated items!

Every year, our Caring at Christmas project relied on the amazing people, groups, and businesses in our city to ensure our guests have a good supply of food, toiletries, and clothing. For those in our city who face the harsh conditions of rough sleeping, and insecure housing, it makes a big difference. Your clothing donations go into a pop-up store at the project, and guests choose what they need through our personal shopping experience. Other donated goods mean that our guests can have access to toiletries and food. Both during the project, or to take away.

As always, due to the costs of moving unwanted donations on, we're asking that only the items on our lists are donated. This means that our resources are not diverted from where they are needed most, and we avoid additional costs.

Our volunteers will be on hand on each of the drop off days to accept your donations, and to sort them ready for use. Your support is much appreciated! If instead you'd like to donate money, you'll be making an impact through our Christmas and winter work, and into the New Year. Thank you!
