An increasing number of homes are facing Christmas under the shadow of poverty
This Christmas, many families in Finland are facing the harsh reality of food insecurity. For many, even a warm meal is out of reach. Over 200 000 people in Finland rely on food aid regularly and the number has been growing for six years in a row.

You help by donating
Donations to the Finnish Red Cross Christmas Appeal help provide community-based food aid to those in need. In addition, your support strengthens domestic emergency preparedness, ensuring that help can be delivered quickly and effectively when it's needed the most.
At the food aid distribution, you realize you're not alone and not the only one who needs help.
You can also direct your Christmas donation to the Disaster Relief Fund or to support Ukraine
A donation to the Disaster Relief Fund helps where the need is greatest. With your support, we deliver humanitarian aid to the world’s most critical crisis zones. In addition, donations strengthen domestic emergency preparedness, ensuring that help can be provided quickly and efficiently when it’s needed most.
The need for aid in Ukraine remains immense. Basic healthcare, physical and mental rehabilitation, and livelihood support will be needed for a long time to come in Ukraine. With your support, we deliver essential health and social services to the areas where they are needed most.
Let’s make Christmas easier together for those who need help the most!
