We ask that all donations be non-perishable unopened goods that are in-date
We cannot pass on alcohol, tobacco, or electrical goods and sadly we do not have space to store clothing or homeware
​
When donating it's worth remembering that we really need are essentials, for example tartare sauce is lovely but is probably less necessary than a tin of hotdogs
​
Some people have very little if any cooking facilities so 'instant' (just add boiling water) sachets of pasta or rice for example are always welcome. Others may only have a microwave oven; we try to ensure we can feed anyone no matter what their kitchen might comprise of
We even give away can openers when necessary, when we have them
