Our food collection points
Our Tesco, Sainsburys and Asda Permanent Collection Point’s (PCPs) are intended for food that has been purchased in-store. Any food that has been purchased in a different store and brought into the PCP store should be sealed by the donor and clearly labelled as having been purchased elsewhere.
If you are happy to drop off food donations, please enter your postcode to find your closest collection point.
