Since its launch in 2016, our Reverse Advent Calendar has quickly become one of our most beloved and successful campaigns. This heartwarming initiative not only helps ensure that no one in Luton faces hunger during the festive season, but it also brings communities together in the spirit of giving.

Participating is easy, fun, and rewarding for the whole family. Imagine turning the traditional Advent calendar on its head: instead of receiving, you’ll be giving something back each day! Whether it’s tinned food, pasta, or a box of cereal, every small contribution can make a huge difference for local families in need.

It’s also an excellent way to teach children about the importance of compassion and kindness, making it a memorable and meaningful family tradition. Watch your little ones take pride in giving to others – they’ll absolutely love it!

Ready to join in? Getting involved is simple. Follow the three easy steps below to make a real impact this holiday season, and help ensure no one in our community goes without.

We often need more volunteers, so it doesn't matter whether you can spare a couple of days a week or just a couple of hours.
