Donate food and goods

Thanks to the generosity of our community last year we gave out the equivalent of 280,437 meals to people in need.

We accept donations of most dried, fresh and tinned foods as long as they are unopened and in date. If you want to discuss a donation of surplus stock from your business, please contact [email protected]
