We rely heavily on food and money donations from the local community.
Monetary donations can be made via the links at the bottom of this page.
Donations of food and toiletries can be made by dropping items into the FIND food bank trolleys at participating East of England Co-Ops around Ipswich, Waitrose Futura Park and at Sainsbury’s Warren Heath and Ipswich town centre.
It is also possible to deliver your donations of food and toiletry items directly to us at the address below.

Volunteer
Could you donate 2 or 3 hours regularly, for example each week or even just once a month?
Or perhaps you work for a local company and could arrange for a group of employees to support FIND?
We depend on volunteers for all of our work and our team of committed volunteers comes from a variety of backgrounds giving up their time for free.
Volunteers help to sort donated food and other items, collect orders from local shops and make up the food parcels. We also rely on volunteer drivers (Monday to Friday, every afternoon) to make our deliveries.
If you are interested call Maureen on 01473 833351.
Fundraise
FIND relies on cash donations as well as donations of food, furniture and other items in order to provide our services. See the ways you can donate at the bottom of this page.
Event fundraising pages can be set up to support FIND.
