Monetary donations
You can help the Foodbank with monetary donations. Although our direct services are suspended during the COVID-19 lock-downs we are currently passing on monetary donations to The Salvation Army and The Common Unity project who are able to support our clients with food delivered in a contact-less way .
These will be used to enable the Foodbank to keep operating.
