Donate food

Our foodbank relies on your goodwill and support.

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.

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

If you are happy to drop off food donations, please see the table below for our food collection point locations:

Location of food donation point     Opening hours Comments
Sainsbury’s Elm Cross Shopping Centre 0700-2100  Front of store near exits
The Hub@BA15 1000-1300 Monday to Friday
Co-Op 1 Bridge Yard 0700-2200 Front of Store

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.

We are extremely grateful for all the food that has been donated over the last few months.  This includes donations from the national Fareshare scheme.

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