Caerphilly County Borough Council has launched its Christmas foodbank appeal, asking residents, staff and local businesses to help the foodbanks and community groups that support families in crisis over the festive season.
Foodbanks give emergency food and support to people who find themselves in financial difficulty, and they rely heavily on donations, especially at Christmas. This year the council is collecting cash donations, so foodbanks and community groups can buy exactly the supplies they need most.
How to help
You can donate online through the council’s Christmas foodbank appeal page. Every pound goes to local foodbanks and community groups across the county borough.

Valleys Life Tip!
If your workplace is planning a Christmas collection, a cash donation goes a long way, because foodbanks can buy in bulk exactly what’s running short.
