Donate Food
Almost all food is donated by the community through churches, schools, businesses and supermarket collection days.
Each week, we put a call out for specific items that we are running low on, which occasionally might include fresh produce (but please give only when we have requested these specifically, as we don’t have fridge space).
This week we need:
All donated food needs to be well in date, ideally with at least six months until the use-by date. Donations can be dropped off in the Home Café at St Andrew’s church, 10am to 4pm on weekdays (except Thursdays). Donations can also be made via the collection points in Sainsburys on Magdalen Road and the Co-op on Garratt Lane.
