What Food To Donate

Thank you for your support, we really appreciate it and couldn't function as a Food Bank without you. 

Each month we list on our website the supplies that we are short of.  You can also view this list via a free app called Bank the Food which will enable you to see in real time what we need when you are out shopping. You can even set the app to ping you a reminder!

Supplies We Are Short Of This Festive Season

Thank you for offering to support us during the busiest period in our year. The poster below captures the items we are short of.

Donations will need to be with by Friday 13 December if they are to be distributed before Christmas.

Bringing Donations To The Food Bank

If you would like to donate food and supplies you can come to the Food Bank to drop your donation off. If you have a large food donation please contact us in advance so that we can confirm arrangements and make sure one of us is there to assist you.

(Off the Exeter Road, opposite Glenorchy Church and alongside Exmouth Chapel – for a map visit  ‘Find Us’) 

Please deliver your donations to us between 9:00am and 3:00pm on Tuesdays and Fridays (including Bank Holidays).
