How to donate food

Over the last ten years, we have been grateful for the many donations made to the foodbank. Thank you! This Christmas 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?

April 22nd 2024

Please see below the list of things needed at present

Please note that the food donated in the boxes at Aldi does not normally come to Bingley Foodbank as it goes to Bradford.

We are now 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 of the supermarket bags for life if you have any spare.

At present we have plenty pasta, dried rice, and baked beans. Also we have plenty toiletries.

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 it’s own specific needs and we will buy this according to need. .

We have room of the shelves for:

Pasta Sauces

Small boxes of tea bags

Small jars of coffee

Long life Milk

Tinned spaghetti and macaroni

Tinned potatoes

Custard tinned or pks

Sugar

Jam and tinned fruit.

Meat paste
