Secret Santa goes to the Kettering Foodbank.

Secret Santa goes to Kettering Foodbank.

No office “Secret Santa” again this year. Instead, it was agreed that we would  help a local foodbank charity in Kettering. This is all part of our community programme

The money that we would have spent on often a funny (some would say), but unwanted presents to each other has gone instead to buying groceries for people who are struggling to feed themselves and their family.

About Kettering Foodbank

The Charity was set up in 2009 by a group of friends who discussed the growing need for food support in their local area. In response they started a community foodbank from their homes, providing food to those in need. As awareness and demand grew so did the foodbank, leading to the creation of Kettering Foodbank. The foodbank is located at Unit B, 1 Horsemarket, Kettering.

Kettering Foodbank exists because no one should go hungry. They provide people with food in time of crisis, and help to identify and resolve the underlying issues that cause them to fall into food poverty.

Lacey Thompson, Apprentice Investment and Pension Administrator who helped to co-ordinate this years community project said:

“Jane and I dropped the food bank donation off on Wednesday morning (17th December 2025). Everyone at the foodbank was so grateful for all of our contributions. It really is so nice to give to those in need around the festive holidays!”

The foodbanks dedicated team of volunteers give their skills, time and experience to help those in need throughout Kettering and the surrounding villages.

Each week they post on Facebook which items they are most in need of. Their Facebook link is:
