Summer Appeal

30th June 2026

Help Us Support Local People This Summer

Summer can be one of the most challenging times of the year for many of the people we support. While donations often decrease during the holiday season, the need for emergency food and essential household items continues.

That’s why we’re asking our amazing community to support our Summer Appeal by donating just one item from our most-needed list.

Whether you’re doing your weekly shop, collecting with friends or colleagues, or organising a workplace or community collection, every donation helps us provide emergency food parcels and essential toiletries to local people facing crisis.

This summer, we’re particularly in need of:

  • Tinned meat
  • Long-life fruit juice
  • Tinned potatoes
  • Tinned vegetables
  • UHT milk
  • Coffee
  • Cooking sauces
  • Tinned rice pudding and custard
  • Shower gel and soap
  • Toothpaste

Every item donated goes directly towards supporting individuals and families across Hertford, Ware and the surrounding villages. As the cost of living continues to put pressure on household budgets, your generosity helps ensure that nobody in our community has to face hardship alone.

If you’re able to help, please add one of these items to your shopping basket and donate it at one of our collection points or directly to the foodbank (click here for locations). You can also make a financial donation, allowing us to buy the items that are needed most urgently.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Hertford, Ware & District Foodbank. Your kindness makes a real difference to local people when they need it most.

Together, we can make sure our shelves stay stocked this summer and that everyone who turns to us for help receives the support they need.
