Also, please don’t donate catering sized boxes and cans. We are legally not allowed to open the food and re-package and as we can only offer weekly support, catering sized containers are difficult for us to hand out. Not only this, they are also difficult for many of our clients, who might be elderly or unwell, to carry.
You can drop off the food at our headquarters in Valletta during our opening hours (see bottom of this page). We also have collection boxes in the supermarkets listed below, so if it’s easier for you to pick up an item or two when you’re doing your weekly shop and leave them there, please feel free.
We try to provide nutritionally balanced food packs including items than can provide an individual or family with a variety of food types to last one week.
Please have a look at our shopping list below to see the types of items we are always looking for.
All food needs to be non-perishable, so nothing fresh, please!
Owing to safety and storage restrictions, food must be within its recommended ‘sell by’ or ‘best before’ date. The tins or packaging should not be damaged.
You can find collection boxes at these supermarkets:
Naxxar and Mellieha
Birkirkara
Mosta
Valyou
Smart
Pama
