Give Help
Donate food
Our foodbank relies on donations of food.
Over 75% of our food stock is donated and we would not be able to run our foodbank without this generous support. There are lots of ways to donate food, all listed below, but if you have any questions about donating please contact us.
Buy food online via Give Today
Whether you’re looking to buy one item or a hundred, you can do an online order which is delivered directly to us with no minimum requirement and no shipping fees, ensuring a seamless process from start to finish. Using Give Today also ensures that you are purchasing our most needed items as we keep our shopping list up to date!

Use BankTheFood
We use BankTheFood to keep you updated on the items we’re running low on. It’s a great app; you only need to download it and select Manchester South Central Foodbank as your preferred foodbank. You can also activate notifications which means you’ll get a reminder when you visit the supermarket, so you never forget to donate. Read more about BankTheFood.
Host a Food Collection!
To support us even further you could host a food collection in your office, at your child’s school, within your community organisation or at your church. Just check out our shopping list (at the bottom of the page) and get collecting!
If you would like support/guidance on your food collection or would like to discuss a permanent collection point in your organisation/community centre, please get in touch.
Once you’ve finished your collection hopefully you have lots of food to donate! Large donations can be dropped off to our warehouse. We are open Monday, Wednesday, Friday 9am-4pm. You do not need to book but we would be grateful if you could let us know to expect you by contacting us.
