Donate food
Our foodbank relies on your goodwill and support.
Over 90% of the food distributed by foodbanks in The Trussell Trust 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.
If you are happy to drop off food donations, please see the table below for our food collection point locations:
| Location of food donation point | Opening hours | Comments |
| Tesco Extra, Parc Trostre, Llanelli | 6am-12pm | front of store by checkout tills |
| Llanelli Foodbank, 22 Myrtle Terrace, Llanelli | 10 – 1pm | (Mon, Wed, Fri) |
| Lidl, The Avenue, Llanelli SA15 2DP | 8am – 10pm | front of store by checkout tills |
Tesco and Lidl collection points are intended for food that has been purchased by in-store shoppers only. Any food that has been purchased in a different store and brought into a Tesco or Lidl store for collection should be sealed by the Donor and clearly labelled as having been purchased elsewhere.
Bankthefood:
BanktheFood app uses tech for good. It connects individuals who wish to donate food items with their local food banks. Via the app, you can easily identify the most needed items requested by your food bank and it conveniently notifies you when you are near a supermarket. This feature allows you to contribute to the cause while going about your regular shopping routine. The app is free to use, and you can download it by following this link.
We cannot distribute food which is out of date. We always welcome donations and promise to use them to provide help to people in crisis. Occasionally we send food to other nearby foodbanks to support their work particularly if they experience shortages. This ensures your donations go to help people wherever in the UK they are.
Please contact us if you have any questions about donating food.
