We meet the need for emergency and affordable food, and tackle the causes of poverty, by harnessing the power of the community.

"A letter drop is a powerful, practical way to support our work. Every letter you deliver helps raise awareness and generate vital donations so we can continue supporting people across Cambridge."

✅ In support of Cambridge City Foodbank's winter appeal, we're teaming up with the folks at Running Events Cambridge for a letter drop in Eddington. We’ll be provided with bundles of appeal packs to post through letterboxes in assigned roads. Route and groupings to be specified nearer the time.

📌 We will meet outside Sainsbury's in Eddington Square at 10am, so plenty of time for parkrun at Brook Leys beforehand if you're looking for doubly active morning 👟👟

💪Let's do good and keep fit!


Some information from Cambridge City Foodbank:

  • It’s helpful to have a phone with you – to take photos, access maps, and keep track of the areas you’ve covered.

  • Avoid letterboxes with signs like “No unaddressed mail” or “No leaflets.”

  • Use your judgement when entering front gardens and driveways. We do not suggest entering inside a property, even if invited in.

  • Be mindful of dogs or warning signs near letterboxes.

Every letter you post helps someone in our city access the support they need, when they need it most. We’re so grateful you’re part of this – thank you.
