Non-food items

It's natural that the first thing anyone thinks to donate to a foodbank is food, but toiletries and hygiene products are also extremely important.

Alongside the standard food parcel, we try to provide the following essential non-food items to adults and children in crisis, helping them maintain dignity and feel human again.

The list below sets out what we distribute in addition to food:

  • Toiletries – deodorant, toilet paper, shower gel, shaving gel, shampoo, soap, toothbrushes, tooth paste, hand wipes.
  • Household items – laundry liquid detergent, laundry powder, washing up liquid, cleaning products.
  • Feminine products – sanitary towels and tampons
  • Baby supplies – nappies, baby wipes and baby food. (Please note, due to advice from UNICEF we cannot accept donations of formula milk.)
  • Pet food.
