Donate food

Support us by donating food and other essentials.

More people than ever are being driven to food banks and the sharp increase in people needing help is outstripping food donations.

Your donations are vital to ensure that we can continue to help the people in our community.

What to donate

Kindly note we are unable to accept fresh food. We can only accept non-perishable food, e.g. food in tins, jars, packets, boxes. We do not put out-of-date food into food parcels.

Thank you again for your support!

Warehouse donations

Please note, our food bank operates from a hired setting so we have limited access times to our warehouse. Small donations can easily be dropped off at our collection points. If your donation is very large, heavy, bulky or consists of multiple bags, please do arrange a drop off direct to our warehouse. To arrange a delivery, it’s necessary to contact us using the form on our contact us page or email us: info@rawmarsh.foodbank.org.uk to arrange a mutually convenient time for our volunteers to be at the warehouse to help receive your delivery.

Collection points

You can donate items by leaving them at collection points at the following locations. Your donations will be delivered to us, where we’ll pack them into emergency food parcels.
