Christmas Hamper Driver Application

Join our delivery team to help families in crisis celebrate Christmas together this year.

This year Bournemouth Foodbank and Citygate Church are on track to deliver 200 hampers to families in crisis this Christmas. Each family will receive everything they need to eat and celebrate together for three days. The hampers will include fresh and frozen food, Christmas goodies and a message of hope for the new year from the Bible.

Over 6 tonnes of food will go out on Friday 23 December 2022 to feed as many as 1,000 people in need. This has been made possible thanks to an incredible amount of support from local churches, businesses and other community groups. This really is a massive team effort.

And that’s where you come in! We need as many as 70 drivers to deliver the hampers to the front door. If you are willing and able to volunteer yourself and your vehicle, please fill out the following sections of this form:
