Spring cleaning

Where to donate food and clothing items this spring break

If you're using spring break as an opportunity to sort through your belongings, then help us send your unwanted items to the people who need them most.

We accept unwanted food and clothing items year-round at our halls sites, but we know that the end of term is a great opportunity to refresh your room.

What and how to donate?

Food items

  • We accept long-life, non-perishables, such as: pasta, baked beans, cooking sauces, cereals, crisps, biscuits, and soups
  • All food items must be in-date and unopened

Clothing items

  • We accept: men's/women's/children's clothing, shoes, socks, jewellery, accessories, bags, hats, scarves, and gloves.
  • All clothing items must be clean and free from damage
  • Place clothing in a plastic bag before placing in one of our donation banks
