Donate food

Over 90% of the food distributed by foodbanks in the Trussell 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.

All enquiries relating to food donations should be made to our warehouse manager Aidan, who can be contacted via email: [email protected] or call 07376952892.

 

BanktheFood

If you would like to donate food, please consider using the BanktheFood app (available for iPhone and Android from the App store or www.bankthefood.org). When you are at a supermarket, the app will alert you with a list of currently needed items.

 

Supermarket donation points

Please note: Tesco and Asda donation points are intended for food that has been purchased in-store. We kindly request that any food that has been purchased in a different store and brought into either Tesco or Asda for donation, should be sealed by the donor and clearly labelled as having been purchased elsewhere.
