Two tins, a packet of pasta and a bag of rice for a single person.
Donate
Give food or money. Both go into parcels.
Drop-offs go in the box at the hall door on opening days. Money goes online, and we publish where every pound was spent.
What your money buys
£10
The basics for one parcel, enough for about three days for one adult.
£25
A week of food for a household of three, including fresh food from local shops.
Set up a monthly gift so we can plan ahead. Monthly gifts keep the shelves full between food drives.
Drop off food
Put tins and packets in the box at the hall door on any opening day. Please check best-before dates first, and leave glass jars at home.
- Long-life milk, tinned fish, beans and tomatoes.
- Porridge oats, cereal, pasta and rice.
- Toiletries, nappies and baby food, which always go fast.
- Not accepted: opened packets, homemade food, or glass jars.

Hall rent and running costs7%
Running costs went up by 14% last year, because the hall rent rose. We are looking at this with the hall's trustees.
