The Original 106 Christmas Appeal 2020

 

**PLEASE ENSURE ALL FOOD DONATIONS REACH CFINE BY 11AM ON CHRISTMAS EVE**

Once again, as we move towards the festive season, we start to think about how we can help those in our area who are not as fortunate as ourselves. This will be Original 106’s 14th annual Christmas appeal, and this year we’re hoping to address need where it is at its greatest. With the COVID-19 crisis hitting everyone hard, this year is even more critical to help those in need.

Supported by our friends at the Evening Express, we are looking for your generous cash donations to help those most in need this winter. You can donate by clicking the button below:

Individuals and workplaces are both welcome to get involved to help out those who worry how they will cope over the festive season.

We are again teaming up with Community Food Initiatives North East (CFINE)  based in Aberdeen, one of the city’s largest food banks. It also provides supplies to 180 other organisations across the North-east of Scotland. All your generous donations will be gathered and processed by CFINE and distributed to those who need it across Aberdeen and North East Scotland.

 

So, what kind of donations are we looking for? First and foremost, all donations MUST be shop-bought and brand new, newly purchased in original, undamaged packaging. We will not accept donations that are not brand new – see below for a detailed list of suggestions.

This year, to keep physical contact to a minimum we are looking for donations to made direct to CFINE
