Working with wholesalers and retailers

We couldn’t do what we do without our generous partners across the food and grocery industry.

We work with the retailers and wholesalers at a DC/warehouse level to capture donations of ambient, chilled and fresh foods and personal and household products.

If it’s still fit for purpose, chances are we’ll accept it.

We receive products for all sorts of reasons

Out of specification
Close to expiry
Damaged or incorrect packaging or underweight
Deleted product
Surplus to requirement
Private label

Some ways retailers or wholesalers help:

Provide Foodbank with initial introductions to suppliers.
Approve private label manufacturers and suppliers to donate products to Foodbank.
Allow Foodbank to use spare freight capacity within its national network. This helps us share product across our national network.
