THANK YOU!
shopping list
How can you help? One way is to help us to offer a balanced food parcel that contains different types of food. This list is updated here and on our Facebook page.
We really appreciate you donating from the list below as it avoids an excess of some foods and a shortage of others.
The Most Useful Foods
Please note that all food collected is non-perishable, long-life or tinned. Thanks for your help.
We are getting short of quite a few items. Please see the blue URGENT list below.
Our store volunteers will continue to sort through recent donations and double check what's needed. The red list at the end tells you the food items that we have lots of (and do not need at the moment).
See Christmas suggestions at the bottom...
Thank you so much!
