Donate food
Our foodbank relies on your goodwill and support.
We are open for donations at the warehouse weekday mornings between 0900-1200. You can leave your donations on the ledge outside the warehouse door where our small band of volunteers will be working.
Our shopping list on this page shows the food items that we need and also the items we don’t need right now. We also accept good quality, clean carrier bags.
Please note we can only give out food that is non-perishable, sealed and in date.
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.

We always welcome donations and promise to use them to provide help to people in crisis. Occasionally we send food to other nearby foodbanks 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.
