Request: Easter Eggs / Crafts from a wishlist/ Donations / Kind messages

This week, we’d like to help to bring a little bit of Easter magic to children relying on food banks up in Manchester.

We want to make sure that every family who comes to the food bank receives Easter eggs for their children, as well as some crafts and books to keep them busy during the Easter break.

The families using this food bank are really struggling, so we’ve also added some essential school uniform bits onto the wishlist, so children will have what they need to head back to school for the summer term.

You can help by making a donation (we can buy eggs and uniforms in bulk at good prices to stretch your money even further) or buy an item from our wishlist. Every single gift, big or small, will help bring lots of joy and some much-needed support to children this Easter holidays. The eggs and wishlist gifts are all going to Emmeline’s Pantry food bank in Manchester to distribute. If we receive more donations than what’s needed, we will provide Easter eggs and crafts for other food banks as well.

What We Need

1. Donations: We can buy Easter Eggs in bulk quite cheaply, so we will use your donations to buy Easter eggs for the food bank and craft packs for children to use over the Easter holidays. You can donate online or by text using the details below.

2. Gifts from a wishlist: We've set up a wishlist with some craft packs, summer school uniform bits, and also a few Easter eggs (we haven't put many eggs on the list as we can get them cheaper elsewhere). To buy a gift, please click the link below and you will be taken to Amazon where you can choose a gift. Just choose 'this is a gift' and choose the gift registry address when you checkout. It will be sent directly to the food bank.

3. Kind messages: If you'd like to send a kind message to any of the families using the food banks, please write it in the form below, or you can post it to: 52 Lives (Easter), PO Box 3154, Reading, RG1 9AT.
