Give Help
Donate food
As the cost of living continues to rise, many local people and families need our emergency support. Your generosity will directly help local people
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 above and on the right shows the food items that we need right now.
If you are happy to, please buy a few items from our list and drop off the food donations directly into the respective cages based in the stores, or alternatively you can bring the donation directly to us (see the table below for our food collection point locations):
**We cannot accept any food donations to our offices on 119 University street. Please do not turn up there as we will kindly point you to our warehouse.**
It would be a great help to us if you could deliver the food to our warehouse at the following address: Unit 4 Radiant Works
23 Sunwich Street
Ravenhill Avenue
Belfast BT6 8HR

We always welcome donations and promise to use them to provide help to people in crisis. Occasionally we send overstock to other nearby foodbanks to support their work if they are experiencing shortages, just like they do for us. All your donations go to help people in need in Northern Ireland.
