<div>No one should have to go hungry this winter. 
</div>
<div>That's why our Manchester Evening News Christmas Appeal is once again supporting Humans MCR, a charity doing incredible work to tackle hunger in Greater Manchester.
</div>
<div>This organisation is small but mighty - they work to tackle hunger directly and are run by someone who has relied on foodbanks himself.
</div>
<div>We love this charity because they treat everyone with the dignity and respect we all deserve. Each week they provide a lifeline for 400 families and individuals across Manchester, Salford, Rochdale, Trafford, Stockport and Bury. 
</div>
<div>All their food is delivered in unmarked vans so no one knows the people they help are getting support from a foodbank. And they give people in need a choice over what they eat.
</div>
<div>The charity was set up by Lewey Hellewell whose own experience of using traditional food banks, after being made redundant, left him feeling humiliated.
</div>
<div>MEN Editor Sarah Lester said: "I know everyone is finding it tough to pay their bills this year but if you can spare even a little to help the most vulnerable in our community, we would be so grateful.”
</div>
<div>People can be referred to the charity by any local community professional - inclduing GPs, local MPs, or school pastoral care workers - to get emergency food packages, delivered straight to their door in unmarked vans.
</div>
<div>This Christmas, they're expecting to deliver festive 'Xmas hampers' to over 800 people in our region. The hampers have everything to make a full Christmas dinner - plus presents for children, and treats for adults.
</div>
<div>*£10 will give a single person a food package for three days
</div>
<div>*£30 will feed a family of four for three days
</div>
<div>*£45 will provide a family with a Christmas hamper. 
</div>
<div>Humans MCR works with Aldi, Lidl, Morrisons, and Fareshare, receiving donations of perfectly good food that would otherwise go to waste.
</div>
<div>The charity offers a choice over what they eat, with vegetarian, vegan, halal, and gluten free options available. They also offer packages for people who only have access to a kettle.
</div>
<div>We know times are hard for everyone right now so if you can't afford to donate please share our appeal on your social media.
</div>
<div>Let's work together to help make sure families in Greater Manchester aren't going hungry this Christmas.
