Donate food

Our foodbank relies on your goodwill and support.

Over 90% of the food distributed by foodbanks in The Trussell Trust network is donated by the public – that’s why your food donations are absolutely vital to our ability to give everyone referred to us a balanced and nutritious three day supply of food.  Locally, we have experienced a significant rise in demand for our help throughout 2020 and 2021.

What do we need now?

Our shopping lists identifies the food & household items that we need right now.

We always welcome donations and promise to use them to provide help to people in crisis. Occasionally we send food to other food banks and charities to support their work particularly if they experience shortages. This ensures your donations go to help people wherever in the UK they are.

Please contact us if you have any questions about donating food.
