Donate food

Our foodbank relies on your goodwill and support and we are extremely thankful for every item donated.

Most of the food distributed by Orkney Foodbank 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.

Our shopping list on the right shows the food items that we need right now.  Please note that no items with any alcohol content should be donated.
