BanktheFood

BankTheFood is a free app created to link donors to their local food bank and to help combat hunger in the UK. BanktheFood is very simple to use.

The need for food banks in the UK is higher than ever before. Our charity is on a mission to make sure food banks get exactly what they need, when they need. Download the app from your app store here and follow the instructions to get started. Once you have followed your local food bank, the app will send you a helpful ‘ping’ with a reminder of your food banks’ needs when you are shopping in your

local supermarket. You can then choose exactly what you would like to donate and leave your donation in your food bank’s collection box at the end of your shopping trip. Your local food bank will then be alerted via the app of your (anonymous) donation making it easier for your food bank to track and locate items they really need. We are a new charity and have been working hard to register all food banks on the app but we are not there yet! If your local food bank is not yet registered, please get in touch with them and tell them all about it our app. Details on how they can register are on the app. The more food banks we have registered, the more certain we can be that they are getting exactly what they need, when they need.

When you think of donating to your local food bank, pasta and beans might spring to mind.

Though these staples are always appreciated, food banks also need some more unexpected but essential items - take a look! 👀

If you're able to, please pick up a few of these for your local food bank the next time you're at the shops.

For the most up-to-date needs, check your food bank's website or download the BanktheFood app. 💚

As Volunteers' Week comes to a close, we want to say a huge thank you to every food bank volunteer across the UK.

Week in, week out, 52 weeks a year, volunteers give their time, energy and compassion to support people in their communities. Your dedication makes an incredible difference, and we want each and every one of you to know just how much you are appreciated.

Today, we're shining a special spotlight on the fantastic volunteer team at Redditch Foodbank - AOK . Every member of the team gives their heart and soul to serving the Redditch community, providing practical support, kindness and hope to those who need it most.

Thank you to all food bank volunteers — and especially to the wonderful team at Acts Of Kindness Foodbank.

Monday’s Most Wanted 💚

Not all food banks need the same items. One may have plenty of pasta, while another urgently needs tinned fruit.

With BanktheFood, food banks like Carlisle Foodbank update their most-needed items in real time so you can donate smarter.

Check our free app before you give.

Not all food donations are created equal!
No more guessing with BanktheFood.
Your local food bank might urgently need:
• 🌾 Long-life milk
• 👶 Nappies
• 🪥 Toiletries
• ❌ NOT more baked beans
📱 With our app, you can check exactly what they’re short of before you donate at a local drop-off point.
💡 Smarter giving = more useful support.
