On behalf of our store I dropped in a donation of much-needed chapati flour, toothbrushes and sanitary items at Bradford Central Foodbank. Stock of these items was depleting, so we've helped top them up.

We Are Still Open This Week!

Despite the heat, our amazing volunteers are continuing to support the community and ensure that clients receive their food parcels and access to advice and support services.

We kindly ask for your patience when visiting us, as our volunteers may need to work at a slower pace than usual to stay safe and well during the hot weather.

Thank you for your understanding and support. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and take care. ☀️💙

💚 Volunteer Stories 💚

I've volunteered at Foodbank one day a week for the last four years alongside my job at an environmental charity. It’s doing something direct and immediate to help people. Seeing the gratitude on someone’s face when you give them some basic food or help them with their gas and electric bill is rewarding but also very sad. And I really enjoy the company of the people I work with – they’re a wonderfully diverse bunch who I look forward to seeing every week. - Tony

💚 Volunteer Stories 💚

I am Mr Saeed. I first visited Bradford Central Foodbank in February 2024 to seek help and support. After a few visits, I met Josie Barlow, who suggested that I volunteer and offer barbering services for the Foodbank. At first, I was hesitant, as I was already volunteering with another organisation.

However, I soon saw how dedicated the team was and how much they valued each other’s efforts and contributions. Their selfless attitude inspired me to start volunteering in June 2024 because I wanted to be part of such a compassionate community, offering hope and support to those who needed it most.

Two years later, I am still volunteering with Bradford Central Foodbank. Every week, I dedicate two days to helping people experiencing poverty and homelessness by providing practical support such as haircutting, interpreting, and assisting with their immediate needs.

Looking back, I can confidently say that volunteering was one of the best decisions I have made. It has given me a sense of purpose and fulfilment, and I am grateful to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
