Another fantastic donation from XLNC Vapes in Treforest. Thanks to all who joined them in their fundraising efforts. Mandy, our manager, went along to accept the gift & express our gratitude. We are already spending the money on much needed supplies!

Our social security system should support us when we go through tough times - but Universal Credit is falling short. We're calling on political party leaders to ensure Universal Credit at least covers #OurEssentials. Join us and sign our petition 👉 bit.ly/Our-Essentials

840 litres of milk purchased today after we ran out of stock again. Thanks to those who donate money to the foodbank to make this possible. Thanks to staff at Aldi in Upper Boat who ordered an extra pallet to be delivered for us. And thanks to Michael the Van who collected it!

Grocery shopping this weekend? If you can, think of the Foodbank. Stock of all the "Most Wanted" items is very low. pontypridd.foodbank.org.uk/give-help/dona… #foodbank #pontypridd

Great response to our urgent appeal last week. Many thanks to all who donated exactly what we asked for. But we are still very low on some essentials. Here are our top 5 shortages this week. if you can help, drop off at the foodbank in Nile St, Treforest CF37 1BW or Sainsburys

📢 Over 150,000 people have signed our petition saying Universal Credit should protect people from going without essentials like food and a warm home. A massive thank you to all our supporters who are standing with us, @TrussellTrust and Joseph Rowntree Foundation. Together, we will make change. 💚

Lovely to be visited by children from Parc Lewis Primary School on Tuesday. After reading "It's A No-Money Day" by Kate Milner they wanted to take action. They had a collection of items for the foodbank and came along to see for themselves what we do with it. Thanks Parc Lewis!

Thanks to @ategiUK , a Rhydyfelin based charity supporting people with a variety of needs to live independently and well. They brought in a collection of items for the foodbank this morning. #Ategi

Thank you for another great food donation from Griffiths , Amey , Siemens. It's so good to get these regular boosts to our stock. #GriffithsInTheCommunity #PontypriddFoodbank

Big thank you to staff at PB Leiner in Treforest. They made a collection of items for the foodbank which they brought in yesterday. Photo shows two volunteers checking the items in. Won't be long before they go out again in parcels. Thanks again to all at PB Leiner.

Big welcome to Sharon Elward, our new Local Organiser. Sharon aims to link up with local communities to create campaigns where, together, we can pursue positive, long term, change so everyone can afford essentials. Thank you Trussell Trust for funding this post. @TrussellTrust

Foodbank volunteers will be at Tesco Extra this Saturday, 25th, between 9am & 4pm. We'll have lists of our most needed items and information about becoming a regular donor or volunteering. Also buckets for your loose change & a card reader. Look forward to seeing you!

Day Two – Volunteers Week Did you know that Pontypridd Foodbank is mainly run by volunteers! Their dedication and hard work make a real difference in our community. #VolunteersWeek #CommunityHeroes #ThankYou

Volunteers Week - Day 3 It takes around 50 volunteers each week to keep Pontypridd Foodbank running. Every volunteer is a piece of our jigsaw – where every piece is important  – every single volunteer is valued and appreciated. #VolunteersWeek #CommunityHeroes

We were very pleased to welcome Pontypridd foodbank as the designated matchday charity on Saturday, and we’d like to thank both sets of supporters who donated to this extremely worthy cause 🤝 🗞️ 𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙞𝙩 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 🔗👉 ponty.net/supporting-the… #WeArePonty ⚫️⚪️
