Our foodbank is busier than ever and we're struggling to keep up with demand. More and more people are needing support, and our shelves are running low. Every donated tin, packet, carton, in fact, every contribution helps us support someone in crisis.
Please see the shopping list below for ideas about what's needed. But remember, anything you're able to donate, no matter how small, will make a real difference.
We're also pleased to annouce our donation box at Ystrad Recycling, making it easy to drop off items. You can make donations in person at Ystradgynlais Volunteer Centre, Wind Road, Ystradgynlais SA9 1AF or, for larger donations, call us on 01639 845475 and tell us you'd like to make a donation. Thank you so much for your continued support.
