Donate food & essential items

Use this page if you want to donate food, donate essential items, or ask about the right donation route in Leeds.

The original Leeds FAN donation page now asks people to contact Leeds FAN directly by email rather than using the older Street Support UK route.

Main donation route

If you wish to donate food or items to support vulnerable people in Leeds, use the donation contact below first.

Donation email: dave@leedsfoodaidnetwork.co.uk

Leeds FAN says it will discuss with you ways that you might be able to help.

Email donation contact

Why contact first

This redesign keeps the donation route simple and direct.

  • current needs may change
  • different organisations may need different items
  • checking first makes the route clearer

This also reduces the confusion caused by repeated donation paths, which matches the problems identified in the report.

Food distribution in Leeds

The original Leeds FAN site highlights FareShare Yorkshire and Rethink Food as important parts of food distribution across Leeds.

It says both organisations operate from warehouses in Leeds and help many food aid providers by supplying food on a weekly basis.

Need something else?

If you need emergency food, use Get Help or Food Banks. If you need wider advice, health or welfare support, use Advice & Support.
