Universal Credit doesn't know the price of a pint of milk. Or heating. Or a bus fare.

It doesn't cover the costs of the very essentials people need to survive, leaving millions with no option but to turn to a food bank.

✋ It's time we changed this.

We are once again in desperate need of carrier bags.

All types of grocery/shopping bags lovingly accepted - but strong is best.

If you have any in a good, clean condition please consider dropping them off to the 1811 Building on New Lane (opposite Posterngate Surgery) any Monday, Wednesday or Friday between 10am - 1pm. Alternatively please drop them off in any of our collection points.

Thank you

🐰 Can you hear our Easter Bunny hopping around Selby? She is busy gathering Easter Eggs for local children who are in hardship this Easter.

If you are planning to donate some Easter Eggs, we would really appreciate it if they could be sent to us by Wednesday 1st April. They can be left in one of our collection points or brought to the foodbank (1811 Building, New Lane).

Alternatively, if you would like to spare some pennies to help us with the eternal challenge of purchasing stock, you can donate here:

In recent Trussell statistics, over 14.1 million people were found to be food insecure in the UK.

Here at Selby and District Foodbank we have been working for more than a decade to change that.

Every penny, tin of beans, or bar of soap you donate directly supports people in your local community.

If you are able, donate today to help end the choice between heating and eating.

You can donate to us via one of our collection points, or by using the link below:

Get “on yer bike” for Selby and District Foodbank - thanks to the amazing work of Elmet Lions!

This year, Elmet Lions have opened up their Great Selby Bike Ride to allow riders to fundraise for their own charity.

Our foodbank helps thousands of people each year, who cannot afford food and other basic essentials.

If you would be interested in supporting us, please contact us at [email protected] for more information on how to get involved.

Thank you 💚
