We always welcome donations, and promise to use them to provide help to people in crisis. Occasionally we send food to other nearby food banks to support their work, particularly if they experience shortages. This ensures your donations go to help people wherever they are in Bristol.
Special collections
Schools and companies often have special collections for us at Harvest and Christmas time. We are usually able to come and collect the food from you. If you are interested in having a special collection for us, contact the office and we’ll send you out some collection posters.
