Donate food

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.

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

If you are happy to drop off food donations, please see the table below for our food collection point locations:

Location of food donation point	Opening hours	Comments
Tesco Supermarket Pontypool	06:00 – 22:00	front of store near exits (please be aware that only products bought in-store can be donated here)
Asda Supermarket Cwmbran	24 hour opening	near the tills as you exit (please be aware that only products bought in-store can be donated here)
Sainsburys Supermarket Cwmbran	07:30 – 21:00	by the exit doors next to notice board

Tesco and Asda collection points are intended for food that has been purchased by in-store shoppers only. Any food that has been purchased in a different store and brought into either of these stores for collection should be sealed by the Donor and clearly labelled as having been purchased elsewhere.

We always welcome donations and promise to use them to provide help to people in crisis. Occasionally we send food to other nearby foodbanks to support their work particularly if they experience shortages. This ensures your donations go to help people wherever in the UK they are.

Please contact us if you have any questions about donating food.
