Help Key to Life Foodbank stock its shelves ahead of winter. Whether you're organising a Harvest collection, hosting a spooky fundraiser, donating food or making a financial contribution, every donation helps local families and individuals facing hardship across South Tyneside.
For many families, financial pressures don’t disappear when summer ends. Demand for foodbank support remains high, but donations often reduce following the school holidays, making autumn one of the most important times of year to restock our shelves.
Your support helps ensure local people can access essential food, toiletries and household items throughout the winter months. Together, we can make sure that no one in our community goes hungry.
Nearly 3 in 10 children in South Tyneside live in poverty. That's around 9 children in every classroom
Could your school, church, workplace or community group host a collection on our behalf?
By collecting food, toiletries, household essentials or baby items, you’ll be helping local families and individuals access vital support this winter.
We’re happy to arrange collection of donations where needed, deliver a talk about the impact of your support, offer a letter of thanks and acknowledge on our socials.
Could you organise a spooky-themed fundraiser, collection or donation drive this October with friends or neighbours?
Whether it’s a bake sale, monster quiz, Halloween party, workplace challenge or something completely unique, every pound raised and item donated will help local families and individuals facing hardship.
If you’re planning something, we’d love to celebrate it on our social media channels.
Drop off items – find us here at Boldon Lane Library (NE34 0LZ), we’re open 10-4, Mon to Fri – or use our Amazon wishlist.
Donate online, by bank transfer, cheque or text – plus you can make your donation go even further with Gift Aid!
