Please note: Tesco collection points are intended for food that has been purchased by in-store shoppers only. Any food that has been purchased in a different store and brought into a Tesco store for collection should be sealed by the Donor and clearly labelled as having been purchased elsewhere.

Thank you!

A sincere thank you to all those who donate to Pontypridd Foodbank, financially or by way of stock donations.

We are grateful and thankful for the generosity shown by everyone who supports us. Individuals, businesses, schools, colleges, faith Groups and many others have donated much to us with monetary and/or stock donations.

Some make regular monthly cash donations by standing order, and some make financial donations to our bank account or by cash/cheque in person. Others give stock donations. We know who some of our donors are but others do not want any acknowledgment or we do not have contact details.

Please know that there are individuals and families in Pontypridd who will not go hungry thanks to your kindness.

We would like to say a huge thank you to you all. Without your help and support we would not be able to do what we do. Despite the impression sometimes seen from news headlines, we constantly see that people are generous, caring and compassionate.

Again, thank you!
