This time of year can be tough for so many.

We’d like to appeal to your generosity, and ask that - if you are in a position to do so - please donate items to your local Central Co-op, over the festive period.

Back to Goodwill to all


Food Bank Appeal

What to donate?

Everyday essentials like tea, tinned fruit and toiletries are always in great demand, but we’d also like you to consider donating a festive treat to help spread some cheer.

Please donate what you can and help us provide for those in need this season.

What happens to your donations?

Your donations are collected and made into food parcels. Each one contains around 11 items and will provide at least three days’ worth of meals for those in need.

You can donate shopping basket staples, like tea, sugar and cereals, or other essentials such as toiletries and hygiene products to help people maintain their dignity during times of crisis.

Food Bank Appeal

The importance of this appeal

Since 2013, our food stores have been home to collection points for over 65 different food bank partners.

Every single month this results in thousands of people across the Central Co-op remit being given enough food to cook meals and ensure that nobody goes hungry via emergency food and support for individuals and families in crisis.
