Donate food

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.

At our centre we have a shop, with fresh diary, fruit, veg and meat daily, this allows our clients to choose their own items.

Our shopping list on the right shows the food items that we need right now.

If you are corporate, church or educational group looking to arrange a food drive on our behalf, please contact us first and we can provide a more extensive list of what we currently need.

Last Christmas we supported 1000 families with food parcels. If you would like to donate items to this our Christmas 2024 item list can be found here

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 they are.

We are a partner with the Creggan Community Fridge at Creggan Country Park, we send near end of date items to ensure no food wastage.  More details on this service can be found on their facebook page.

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