THANK YOU!

shopping list

How can you help? One way is to help us to offer a balanced food parcel that contains different types of food. This list is updated here and on our Facebook page.

We really appreciate you donating from the list below as it avoids an excess of some foods and a shortage of others.

Try the Bank the Food App here: https://www.bankthefood.org/ and get an updated list direct to your phone every time you go to a collection point! 

The Most Useful Foods

Please note that all food collected is non-perishable, long-life or tinned. Thanks for your help. ​

When we have an URGENT need for items, please see the blue URGENT list below.

 

The red list tells you the food items that we have lots of (and do not need at the moment). 

Collection points are listed at the end of this page. 

Thank you so much!

WE HAVE AN URGENT NEED FOR:

(In order of how urgent they are.)

​Due to your amazing Harvest donations we do not have an urgent need for food. Thank you! However, please keep your donations coming as the food is still going out to people in need. We will update our urgent list again soon.
