Help us by donating food
Would you prefer to donate money?
You can drop off food donations at our store in Marsa (21 Triq Il-Moll Tal-Hatab/Timber Wharf) as follows:
October to July:
Monday to Thursday from 9:00am to 1:00pm
August to September:
Monday to Thursday from 8:30am to 12: 30pm
(Friday closed.)
We always recommend calling us beforehand on 9906 6808 to ensure we are open.
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.
​
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 find collection boxes at these supermarkets:
Naxxar and Mellieha
Birkirkara
Mosta
Valyou
Smart
Pama
We are always looking for:
Milk (UHT)
Fruit juice (UHT)
Cooking oil
Tinned tomatoes
Baked beans
Kunserva / tomato paste
Passata
Tinned fruit
Tinned vegetables
Tinned meat
Tinned fish
Pasta / rice
Noodles
Couscous
Soup (tinned or packet)
Breakfast cereal
Biscuits or snack bars
Tea bags
Instant coffee

You can also donate your points at Greens Supermarket to Foodbank Lifeline.
