Donate food
Our foodbank relies on your goodwill and support.
Over 90% of the food distributed by foodbanks in The Trussell Trust network is donated by the public – that’s why your food donations are absolutely vital to our ability to give everyone referred to us a balanced and nutritious three day supply of food.
Our shopping list on the right shows the food items that we need right now.
If you are happy to drop off food donations, please see the table below for our food collection point locations:
| Location of food donation point | Opening hours | Comments |
| Waitrose (Foss Islands) | 8am-9pm | front of store near exits |
| Tesco (Askam Bar) | 24 hours | front of store near exits |
| Gateway Centre, Front Street, Acomb | Please ring beforehand | at receptionist desk |
| Foodbank Warehouse | 9.30-11.30 Tuesday and Thursday | 26 Station Ave, New Earswick |
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.
Please contact us if you have any questions about donating food.
