Barrow Foodbank do a tremendous job in making sure that local people living in crisis, and those who are struggling in our community are fed and supported, with Foodbank Centres in Barrow, Ulverston and Millom.
People have always been very generous in donating items by dropping them off at drop in centres or at supermarkets, adding a few extra items to collection points after shopping at various stores across the region.
Without the support of Barrow Foodbank, many local people would go hungry. It’s a vital support system for people in our community who are struggling.
Barrow Foodbank provides local people with a minimum of 3 days emergency food and support
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.
To help continue the amazing work they do, Barrow Foodbank would really like donations of the following items throughout February:
Pasta and Sauce Packets
Stock Cubes
Tinned spaghetti
UHT Milk
UHT Juice
Sponge Puddings
Deodorant
Handwash
Shampoo and/or Conditioner
Toilet Rolls
Toothbrushes
Shower Gel
You can drop your donations off at Barrow Foodbank at the back of Abbey Road Baptist Church, or you can leave them at collection points at most local supermarkets.
As well as food and toiletries, Barrow Foodbank would also welcome the donation of cat and dog food. They are also short of reusable bags and bags for life. These can be left at supermarket collection points too.
So, please donate what you can to help Barrow Foodbank continue to support those in the community that are going through challenging times.
Barrow Foodbank is open Mon - Thurs 11am-1pm and Fri 11am- 3pm
