Support us financially
It’s also possible to support us with financial donations. We raise money to buy food and maintain the shop. For example, if certain stocks are low, we will purchase more to replenish supplies.
None of the funds raised are used for the payment of office holders.
Please send cheques, made payable to ‘Ilkley Foodbank’ to: The Treasurer, Ilkley Foodbank, 4 Church Street, Ilkley LS29 9DS.
If you would prefer to pay by bank transfer, please ask for details via the same address, or by e-mail to info@ilkleyfoodbank.org.uk
If you are a UK tax payer, and would like to increase the value of your gift through Gift Aid, please also ask for the appropriate form.
