BANK THE FOOD APP

"What food should I donate to the Foodbank?"

There's an app for that!

Meet BanktheFood! This free app will ping your smartphone a real-time list of our most wanted items when you're at a shop/location that is partnered with us (Tesco Trostre or Lidl).

Please download the app from your device's app store and follow the instructions to get started.

Once you have followed Llanelli Foodbank, the app will send you a helpful ‘ping’ with a reminder of our needs when you are shopping in your local supermarket.

You can then choose exactly what you would like to donate and leave your donation in your food bank’s collection box at the end of your shopping trip.

We will then be alerted via the app of your (anonymous) donation making it easier for us to track and locate items that we really need.
