Donate Food

A HUGE THANK YOU to all our supporters who continue to donate to the Food Bank.

We are facing increasing demand as the country experiences its highest inflation for 30 years. Currently we are supporting over 100 families/single people a week and we expect this to increase over the coming months.
Over 90% of the food distributed by foodbanks in The Trussell Trust network is donated by the public

– that’s why your food donations are absolutely vital to our ability to give everyone referred to us a balanced and nutritious three day supply of food.

We know that the cost of living is still putting a lot of pressure on household budgets, and it’s harder to give food than before. But, please keep giving – even if it’s just one tin every week – EVERY TIN (OR PACKET) HELPS!

And there are now many locations around Rochdale where you can donate food. Below is our ‘Shopping List’ of all the items that go into our Emergency Food Parcels. Just choose items that you would like to put in your own shopping basket!

Please check the foods we are short of or urgently need to see if you are able to help with any of these items.

Rochdale in-store donation points

Tesco, Asda and Morrisons in-store donation points are intended for food that has been purchased in-store. Any food that has been purchased in a different store and brought into the store should be sealed by the donor and clearly labelled as having been purchased elsewhere.

Non-store donation points
