Pass the Parcel
This year’s appeal is about caring for your fellow neighbours and community, its about passing the food on, sharing the wealth, paying it forward.
Just £20 to us can mean everything to someone facing food insecurity
- Live off our food parcel shopping list for 4 days
- Donate just £20 so MK Food Bank can provide a parcel for someone who needs one
- Pass the Parcel by nominating friends, family or colleagues on social media to do the same
- Local businesses could match donations, families can club together and we can all help MK Food Bank this winter.
We are asking you to live on a 4 day food parcel, list of shopping below and to use your local community fridge – at the end of the experience to share your thoughts on social media and then pay the cost of your food parcel to someone in need this Christmas!
Make a donation or take part in our Pass the Parcel campaign and join us making this Christmas a time of compassion.
Just £20 could help someone with a Food Parcel.
Take part: Live on a 4-day parcel. Share your reflections on how hard it is to balance meals, stretch portions, and still keep dignity and choice.
Record/share: Short video or written post:
- Show the parcel you had.
- Share what your experience (meal planning, snacks, cravings).
- End with: “I’m passing the parcel on to…”
Nominate: Tag 2–3 people (friends/family/colleagues).
Give: Donate via our Local Giving page OR bring your own parcel to MK Food Bank Options:
- £20 → one person
- £40 → two people
- £90 → a 4-person family parcel
Pass the Parcel: Encourage the next person to do the same – creating a ripple effect.
