Cardiff Foodbank has released its annual Reverse Advent Calendar to help those tackling the food crisis this Christmas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Foodbank
The step-by-step Reverse Advent Calendar designed by Cardiff Foodbank accepts a variety of Christmas foods to provide to those in need<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

‘Tis the season of giving, and what better way to help this Christmas than by fighting food crisis alongside Cardiff Foodbank; who has fought hidden starvation in South Wales for 10 years now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having released its 2019 annual Reverse Advent Calendar on 17 October, the organisation hopes that the community of Cardiff and wider areas will join in<\/a> and support the Foodbank. This will further help combat the rising<\/a> number of poorer adults struggling with the food crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cardiff Foodbank is part of The Trussell Trust network and works alongside 428 Foodbanks across the UK to tackle food poverty in our communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the year, Cardiff Foodbank provides referred individuals with three-day emergency food parcels. Alongside this, they also provide signposting assistance for those in need of specific support needs; and educated advice by specialist workers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a deadline of 9 December, Cardiff Foodbank aims to inspire individuals to donate<\/a> food and finance that will then be used to create nutritionally balanced emergency parcels for the hungry in South Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Financial donations will further help the 40,000 volunteers<\/a> to store and distribute food safely to those in need, during a season that should be merry for all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The organisations’ administrator, Sara Redwood, said: \u201cWe hope that this is a festive way for individuals and groups to support Cardiff Foodbank and make a difference at Christmas to local people who find themselves in a food crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reverse Advent Calendars amongst organizations has proven to be very successful across the UK. Also offering a heartfelt future tradition for families in Wales, as the 45% increase<\/a> in emergency food parcel in the fortnight leading up to Christmas brings people together to give back to those in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cardiff Foodbank asks for financial and food donations only, noting: “While we recognise that toiletries give people dignity, our main aim is to fight hidden hunger in our city.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
