Over the last eleven years, we have been grateful for the many donations made to the foodbank. Thank you! This year, yet again we have had some really generous donations and we are humbled by the generosity of people locally who enable us to help those in real need.
What do we need?
September 27th 2025
Please see below the list of things needed at present. Thank you to all of you.
Thank you for all the really generous donations we have received this week. (27th September)
Please note that the food donated in the boxes at Aldi and Lidl does not normally come to Bingley Foodbank as it goes to Bradford Foodbanks who also have a great need.
We are no longer receiving the tins and packets donated at Lidl. There is a collection point for Bingley Foodbank at the Co-op in the shopping centre. Other places are listed further below.
Thank you to those of you who follow the web site for any shortages.
Please note we would be grateful for any supermarket, and bags for Life that you have spare. Thank you to those who sew the Morsbags for the Foodbank.
We cannot use catering size packs of food as these are too big even for the larger families. Baby milk is not something we can accept as each child has its own specific needs and we will buy this according to need.
We have room on the shelves for:
Tinned tomatoes
Tinned meat and chicken
Tinned soup
Small boxes of tea bags
Small jars of coffee
Long life Milk
Custard – tinned, cartons or instant
Rice Pudding
Sugar – small bags (for single person bags) as well at normal size!
Meat paste
Jam
Tinned Fruit
Toilet rolls
Cereals (but we have plenty of porridge and muesli)
Biscuits
We have plenty pasta especially spaghetti.
