FOOD ITEMS WE CAN ACCEPT
The Crossroads Meltham Food Bank has limited storage so we can only accept items that we can use for our client packs.
We accept donations of most dried, fresh and tinned foods as long as they are unopened and in date. If you want to discuss a donation of surplus stock from your business, please get in touch.
Items we receive that we are unable to use, we try to pass on to other charities or organisations who may be able to use them.
If you are unsure whether we will accept something you wish to donate, or if it's not on the list below, then please do get in touch first to check.
