Donate food

Our foodbank relies on your goodwill and support through donations of non-perishable food and toiletries.

Your food and toiletries donations are absolutely vital to our ability to give everyone referred to us a balanced and nutritious three day supply of food.

Our shopping list on the right shows the food items that we need right now.

You can donate food in-person at our warehouse or at one of our food collection points. You can also place an online shopping order with your supermarket and have it delivered directly to Blackburn Foodbank!

Please see the table below for our food collection point locations:
