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. Our shopping list below shows the food items we need right now.
At our centre we have a shop with fresh dairy, fruit, veg and meat daily. This allows our clients to choose their own items. We are a partner with local Community Fridges, we send near end of date items to ensure no food wastage.
Please contact us if you have any questions about donating food.
