MK Dons Sport & Education Trust and a number of local partners, including Suzuki GB will come together again this Christmas to provide hampers for local families in need.
Last year, MK Dons SET were able to support 250 families through donations, providing a weeks worth of food to support over 1000 people during the Christmas period.
Volunteers from Suzuki GB, and Friends of the Trust joined forces to create and pack the hampers, which were delivered just before Christmas day.
For 2023, MK Dons SET has announced it would like to support the local community once again, especially during the ongoing cost of living crisis, with the aim to raise funds to support even more families and individuals.
Following the success and feedback from the community, the aim is to again provide a luxury pack of food supplies that will support a family for over a week, as well as a gift card where families can purchase their own food so that this can stretch out over the most difficult weeks between Christmas and New Year.
SET will also plan to provide restricted supermarket gift cards that will enable families to purchase foods and household essentials, but not alcohol or scratch cards.
Food parcels and the gift cards will be delivered in person to families, so support is needed with the following:
- Funding sponsorship for the boxes for families £50 per box for a family of four and £25 per box for a couple
- Support with the distribution of boxes on 20th December 2023
For all sponsors of boxes, MK Dons SET will recognise contributions on the Christmas Card and Box provided to families, provide social media and press coverage and give your staff an opportunity to be involved in the distribution of boxes to families in need of help in Milton Keynes.
