Donate Food Your donations make a real difference to people in our community. We gratefully accept dried and tinned foods, cleaning products, and toiletries. The list below shows the items we currently need most, as well as those we already have in good supply. We also welcome fresh surplus produce — such as fruit and vegetables from allotments — but please deliver these directly to our warehouse or hubs (see here for opening times) rather than leaving them in supermarket donation points.
