Donate items
Approximately 90% of our foodstuffs are donated
We provide sandwiches, breakfast and a hot, nutritious dinner each day. Although we buy meat and veg directly, we are reliant on voluntary donations for the vast majority of the food we provide. If you would like to donate the items we most need at present, please see our Priority items list.
