About
Our food-based projects benefit from the generosity of many schools, churches, organisations and individuals who collect and donate food – both at harvest time and throughout the year.
Many public places in Bolton have one of our “Grub Tubs” or donation points, where people can deposit their donations of food and other household essentials. If you know of a good location where we might install a food donation point, please do get in touch.
If you click here you can see a list of the items we would ideally like to receive to help us make up food parcels. We are often short of tins of UHT milk, tea bags, tinned fruit, pasta sauce and tinned meat items.
Donated items can be dropped off at our Food Hub which is the former Staples / Office Outlet unit on Trinity Retail Park, off Bradford Street, Bolton BL2 1HY. Just drive down past Burger King and Arnold Clark car sales, (see photo opposite). The Hub is open to the public on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays 10am-12pm and 2-4pm.
You might like to consider getting a supermarket to deliver an order directly to us!
Did you know – you can also purchase items via Give Today which will be delivered straight to our front door! Urban Outreach – Give Today
