Donating Food
If you’re thinking of donating food to us you can bring it straight to our warehouse or drop it off at one of our public collection points listed below. …MANY OF OUR COLLECTION POINTS ARE NOW CLOSED OR CLOSING AS A RESULT OF THE CORONA VIRUS PANDEMIC…We will try to keep this page updated with drop off centres we know are still operating.
Our shopping list on the right shows the food items that we need right now.
Drop off points for food which are still open include
- Most large supermarkets – opening hours vary,
- Matthew Henry Church centre,
- Trinity Methodist Church Ellesmere Port, Mon-Fri 10am-4pm
- Holy Trinity Church Blacon Mon and Thursday 11am – 12 noon
- further outlets to be updated regularly – please tell us if you are collecting and we will update this site
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. This ensures your donations go to help people wherever in the UK they are.
Sue’s story – an update
“Since last sharing my story, I am now accessing food bank through the Extended Voucher Scheme. I am now awaiting appointment for operation & unable to work at all. I have been issued with a further sick note for 2 months & will need a further 2 months to recover after the operation. I am not receiving benefits, just statutory sick pay until 15th November- benefits due to start on 18th November – still won’t be amount I was receiving whilst in work. Getting food from food bank makes a big difference. I would not be able to eat properly without food bank as I would want my Mum and daughter to eat before me.”
Thank you to Sue for sharing her experiences with us.
