Plymouth Foodbank is asking local people, businesses and community groups to help keep its shelves stocked for people facing hardship. The charity says the need continues beyond Harvest and Christmas. Alongside emergency food parcels, it offers a warm welcome, practical help and places where people can meet and feel less alone.
Foodbank manager Mark Haydon said donations had fallen while the needs of the community had grown and become more varied.
Current needs include soup, tuna, tinned meat, juice, coffee, oil, flour and rice. Financial donations, volunteers and regular food collections are also welcome, and businesses are invited to consider making it their Charity of the Year for 2027.
The charity thanked everyone who already gives food, money or time.
Donations can be taken to Plymouth Foodbank, 28 Manor Street, Stonehouse, Plymouth, PL1 1TW. To find out more, email info@plymouth.foodbank.org.uk or call 01752 254981.
