Donate food

Support us by donating food and other essentials.

More people than ever are being driven to food banks and the sharp increase in people needing help is outstripping food donations.

Your donations are vital to ensure that we can continue to help the people in our community.

What to donate

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

Items we need

  • Cereal
  • Long-life milk
  • Pasta
  • Tea bags
  • Tinned fruit

Items we don’t need

  • Baked beans
  • Sugar
