Donate nowWhat are foodbank-friendly products?
Our local food charity partners desperately need non-perishable products that are typical household essentials.
Look out for foodbank-friendly products highlighted in your local New World:
- Tins of soup, baked beans, spaghetti, fruit and vegetables, soup, kidney beans, mixed beans, chickpeas, tomatoes, pasta sauce.
- Things that make a hearty base of a meal like rice, pasta and noodles are good.
- Breakfast cereal is a great staple and things for the pantry like sugar, flour, tea bags and crackers.
- Hygiene basics are important like soap, toilet paper and tampons.
