WANT TO DONATE FOOD OR TOILETRIES?
We have several food donation points in Sherborne including Sherborne Abbey, Cheap Street Church, The Sacred Heart & St Aldhelm Catholic Church, Waitrose, Sainsbury’s, the Co-op Westbridge Park, Hunt’s Supermarket and Dike & Son in Stalbridge.

We are also grateful to the ABBEY PHARMACY in Cheap Street Sherborne, for supporting the food bank as a collection point for toiletries and personal hygiene items.
