Foodbank Support

Our local foodbanks are dedicated to ensuring that no one in our community goes hungry. As the cost of living rises, demand for their services is increasing rapidly. 


We support 28 foodbanks across Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire.


By asking our shoppers to share an item with their local foodbank, we aim to help many more people and families in need of emergency food. 


Foodbanks need regular donations of food, toiletries and baby items. Think about your weekly shop: what can you not live without? It may be things like cereal, nappies or toilet paper. People in crisis need these things too. 


When you're next in store, why not pick up an extra something and pop it into the donation basket? 


Use our store locator to find out which foodbank your local store supports.
