About the appeal

Urgent help needed for warm winter clothes and bedding

Can you help us raise £5000 to supply much needed warm winter clothes and bedding for people in need who come to the Todmorden Food Drop In for support? We were set up in 2013 to supply emergency food parcels for anyone who was struggling to feed themselves or their families for whatever reason. Over the past 9 years as austerity has continued to bite we have needed to help people with other essentials and not just food. We run a free café and provide sandwiches, pies, hot dogs and hot drinks. We have many requests for basic bedding and for warm clothes in the colder months. We have seen more and more people come to us and now we have the cost of living crisis and many are struggling to heat their homes. Many of the people who come for help are families with children who are really going to struggle in the cold months. Warm clothing and bedding is even more important this winter.

3 years ago we started a winter supplies project and provided things like hats, socks. gloves scarves, hot water bottles, jackets and coats, thermals and waterproofs. We also started to provide winter weight bedding. Much of this was donated but as Covid took a hold we couldn’t take donations and had to buy instead. This year we have put an appeal out for good quality clean clothing and bedding and already donations have started to come in. However the demand is so great that we know we will need to buy clothing and bedding as well.

We have a small grant for winter supplies from Todmorden Town Council that we are very grateful for. Other grant applications have gone in. However we really do need whatever help we can get from you the public – no matter how small. Please give what you can. The people of the valley have always responded well to our appeals even when things are tough for everyone.

Many thanks all of you. We couldn’t do it without you.
