This year, with the support of local people, we've provided 16,020 meals to 1,780 adults and children in need in South Derbyshire so far. Demand is growing and winter and the festive season can be particularly difficult for people experiencing financial hardship. Your help and support is crucial at this time. Please consider making a donation today. Thank you!
