Trust relying on much-needed donations of food from public

More than 90% of the food the Trussell Trust gives out is donated by members of the public, and the group has compiled a list of items they desperately require.

Tinned fruit, puddings and meats top the list of urgently required items in Dundee, as well as long-life UHT milk, coffee and breakfast cereals.

A number of locations in Dundee can accept foodbank donations including Sainsbury’s, both Tesco Extra stores, Dundee University, the Dundee Foodbank warehouse on Dunsinane Avenue, and Brands Books on Albert Street.

In Fife, the Dunfermline Foodbank urgently needs potatoes, macaroni, custard, red sauce, mash, sponge pudding, milk, chocolate, instant noodles, men’s and woman’s deodorant and feminine hygiene products.

Donations in Fife can be made at Tesco stores in Duloch, Asda in Dalgety Bay, Bank of Scotland in East Port, the Dunfermline Foodbank distribution centre and the Co-op funeral home in Inverkeithing.
