Do you gift aid your donations? This week is Gift Aid Awareness and a reminder that every time you you're unlocking an extra 25% to support charities like ours. It makes a big difference. Last year £1.7bn in Gift Aid went to UK charities to support vital work. Here in North and West Leeds our independent charity provides emergency food, support, and connections to resources and advice services that can make a big difference. THANKYOU for making that possible.
Please spread the word

Bags can be dropped off at any of our donation points or foodbank centres, thank you.

Ok so the soup shelf got replenished... 👏

Unfortunately now the fish shelf is empty 🐟

If you're able to grab an extra tin of tuna on your next supermarket trip we'd be very grateful for any donations, large or small 🙏

Swipe for proof of the empty shelf... Yes, Spike had to sit on the floor for this photo.

As always, thank you for your support 💚

Did you know we give out over 8 tonnes of food each month to support people who are unable to afford the essentials. Every donation really helps us to support the community, if you are able to donate something these are the items we are short of this week 👇
