Donate food
Our foodbank relies on your goodwill and support.
Over 90% of the food distributed by foodbanks in The Trussell Trust network is donated by the public – that’s why your food donations are absolutely vital to our ability to give everyone referred to us a balanced and nutritious three day supply of food.

If you are happy to drop off food donations to our warehouse, please see our warehouse opening times. In addition many churches in the region have a collection box, including Ely Cathedral.
We always welcome donations and promise to use them to provide help to people in crisis. Occasionally we send food to other nearby foodbanks to support their work particularly if they experience shortages. Food that we cannot readily use, but is still edible, is typically distributed to local hostels. This ensures your donations go to help people wherever in the UK they are.
Please contact us if you have any questions about donating food.
