Donate food
Our foodbank relies on your goodwill and support.
We rely on public donations of food to provide vital support to thousands of people across West Cheshire.
We’re overwhelmed by the generosity of our local communities and we’d like to say a massive thank you to everyone who supports us in this way. 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.
Our shopping list on the right shows the food items that we need right now.
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.

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.
