Droitwich Foodbank

Dear Methodist Church

Thank you for your support to Droitwich Foodbank in the past. In May we fed over 250 people, of whom 90 were children. The amount of food we distributed was more than we received in donations. This means our stock has reduced. We are also buying over a third of the food that we are distributing.

If you are able to collect food on our behalf, we would be very grateful. The items we need most are tinned meat to heat, tinned vegetables, pasta and pasta sauce, small boxes washing powder and deodorants.  Alternatively, financial donations can be made via our website. If you would like us to collect donations, please email and we can collect on Tuesdays or Fridays.

Thanks in anticipation - Alison Phillips, Warehouse Coordinator
