Lent Appeal

Two pairs of hands passing a shopping bag of food between them

This Lent, you can help us work towards ending hunger in Newcastle-under-Lyme. 

The cost of food and other essentials has gone up. More and more people are struggling to make ends meet and are turning to us for support.

We’re doing everything we can to be there for people in our community. But we need your help.

Make a Change

Often people choose to do something extra or give something up during Lent. You can support us by donating food.

We urgently need donations of tinned soup, tinned hot meat and tinned cold meat.

We'd also love donations of bars of chocolate as a small treat can mean a lot when you're going through a hard time.

Please drop any donations off at the Foodbank Warehouse within opening times. You can also bank the contents of the 40 for 40 challenge and donate them to us online or hand them in to our volunteers at any of our centres.

Thank you.
