Join us to help fight hunger in our communities this Christmas.
Our People First Bank Christmas Food Drive is all about giving a little extra to those in our communities who need it most. For many, Christmas is a time of joy. But for some, it’s a struggle to put food on the table.
Whether you donate goods, funds or simply spread the word, every act of kindness makes a difference.
Drop off non-perishable food, pantry staples or essential items at any of our branches.
We’ve provided a list of the most requested items below to help guide your giving.
If you're unable to attend a branch but would like to spread a little kindness this season, donate online to Foodbank, our national charity partner.

Many of our branches have partnered with local community organisations, ensuring goods donated at the branch are distributed directly to those in need nearby.
Contact your local branch to find out which charity your donations will support.
For branches without a local partner, all contributions will support Foodbank, our 2025 national charity partner.
