How To Help
Without your donations, our Foodbank could not exist. Whether it is food, time or money, whatever you can give will make a difference. Consider becoming a regular donor if you are in business, or just take your items to any of our donation points. Food can be dropped off at any of our member churches when they are open and Tesco supermarket also has a collecting bin, see the map below for more details. We have a relationship with all the supermarkets in the town, who provide help in various ways.
Please give whatever you can, you will be helping someone less fortunate than yourself, who is working through a difficult period in their life.
Food Donation
We rely on food donations to feed local people in crisis. There is a list of suggested items below, but feel free to donate any in-date, non-perishable food at any of or Donation Points
Give us your time
Volunteers are a big part of our team at Bourne. Help us to give out food to people in crisis in the ways listed below, we couldn’t operate without people like you giving your time.
Monetary Donation
Big or small, every gift you give helps transform lives. We couldn't do what we do without your help and support. Please join us in building brighter futures, thank you!
Food Donation
Generally, any dried or long-life items can be donated to the Foodbank. We work alongside the Butterfield Pantry, and any items that are not suitable for long term storage will be handed out if possible or donated to the pantry to still benefit the local community.
Although food is primarily what is distributed, there is also a need, at a time of crisis, for other items such as baby wipes, nappies, toilet rolls, toothpaste and soap.
Please put a little extra in your basket for those in crisis
Suggested Items
Through our partner, GiveToday, here are the items we are in need of the most. You can purchase these items safely using the GiveToday portal and your purchased items will be delivered direct to the foodbank. You can also make note of the items and simply purchase in store when you next do your shopping and place in the drop box by the checkouts.
