What to donate

A wish list is posted regularly on Rainbow Junktion's social media pages, please take a look at them especially if you are specifically buying food items specifically.

We can generally accept:

• Fresh fruit and vegetables

• Unopened tinned food and dry food (even if past best before date as this is a quality not health control)

• Unopened frozen food that is labelled and dated

• Unopened bread/bakery products

• Eggs up to a week past their best before date

• Opened spices/oils

• Pet food

• Toilet paper

• Sanitary towels/tampons

• Clean plastic shopping bags

• Clean tupperware with matching lids

We cannot accept:

• Food past it’s use by date that hasn’t been frozen on that date (this is a legal and health requirement)

• Very mouldy/completely unusable food - we always try and save food if we can but we never want to put peoples health at risk.

• Toiletries and cleaning products - we are now focusing on food so can no longer accept these, please send to your local hygiene bank.

• Clothes - please take to Leeds Grand Mosque for their weekly clothing bank or St Vincent’s who provide free clothes for refugee and asylum seeking people

• Kitchenware - this is a bit more complicated as we do occasionally need things, please check with cafe manager, Nic, before bringing to RJ

• Other household items - please take to your local charity shop

• Baby products - please take to the Leeds Baby Bank

• Sleeping bags/tents - please take to one of the many excellent homelessness charities in Leeds
