Anyone in need is welcome to come along on a Wednesday between 1:00–3:00pm and collect from our donated supplies. There is no registration or referral requirement, all are welcome. Make yourself known to one of our volunteers and they will give you a list to complete and pack your shopping for you.
What items are most needed?
Here is a list of the most requested items:
Rice, Red Lentils, Tinned Meat, Tinned Tuna, Tinned Meat Pies, Baked Beans, Cook-in-Sauce, Custard, UHT Milk, Coffee (small jars if possible), Sweet Biscuits, Savoury Biscuits, Jam, Peanut Butter, Cooking Oil, Squash, UHT Fruit Juice, Bleach, Washing up Liquid, Washing Powder (small boxes if possible), Shower Gel, Shampoo, Toothpaste, Toilet Paper.

Monetary donations ALWAYS help. It gives us the flexibility to purchase needed items, and to supplement donations when they run short. You can contribute to the Food Pantry by clicking here.
