Donated food needs to be in date, unopened and in good condition, please. Long life food is best: it keeps well, and often requires little preparation and cooking. We are able to store lots of these items. Some of our clients have limited cooking and storage facilities, or may have little fuel to spare.

We are happy to accept donations of fresh fruit and vegetables if they are in good condition. Frozen food can be donated if you contact us and arrange to bring it straight from your freezer to ours.

We always need:

Tinned meat, fish, halal and meat-free alternatives

Tinned beans, spaghetti (with and without sausages), ravioli, macaroni cheese, tinned potatoes and other vegetables

Breakfast cereals, UHT milk, jam, peanut butter and chocolate spread

Cooking sauces, dried pasta, bags of rice

 Microwaveable rice, instant noodles and pot noodles

Drinks such as tea bags, instant coffee, fruit squashes, other soft drinks

Biscuits and sweet treats 

Toiletries including toilet roll, soap/shower gel, deodorants, razors and shave gel, period pads and tampons

Please note we do not currently need tinned peas, lasagne sheets, tinned tomatoes, chick peas, kidney beans or other tinned pulses.
