Where and how you can donate to a food bank this Christmas

Caerphilly County Borough Council has announced it is collecting cash donations for food banks in our community this Christmas.

Food banks provide emergency food and support to families and individuals who find themselves in financial crisis. They rely heavily upon donations, particularly over Christmas, and have seen demand for their support increase because of the pandemic.

The council is collecting cash donations as part of this year’s appeal to enable foodbanks to purchase the supplies they desperately need.

You can donate to the appeal online through the council’s website.

There are also donation points located throughout the county borough where items of non-perishable food can be taken throughout the year.

These are:

  • Rhymney Integrated Health Centre
  • Tesco, Ystrad Mynach
  • Morrisons, Bargoed
  • St Peter’s Church, Aberbargoed (Wednesdays 12.30pm to 2.30pm)
  • Tesco Extra, Risca
  • Morrisons, Rogerstone
  • Aldi, Risca
  • One Stop, Risca
  • Asda, Blackwood
  • Tesco, Crossways, Caerphilly
  • Oasis Christian Centre, Bryn Road, Cefn Fforest (Thursdays 10am to 12pm)
  • Asda, Caerphilly
  • Connect Life Church, Crescent Road, Caerphilly (Tuesdays and Wednesdays 10am to 1pm)
