Gifts in Kind

Food

We provide our residents with three meals a day - breakfast, lunch and dinner – lovingly prepared and served by our colleagues in the kitchen. We would be grateful for any donations of the below listed items, to go towards these meals. It’s important that these items are non-perishable (can be stored without a refrigerator before consumption).

- Fruit juice (non-refrigerated)

Toiletries

Toiletries are often considered luxury items for residents who move into Caritas Anchor House, when they may have previously been rough sleeping or living in difficult situations. We support residents by providing toiletries to them, which can include any of the following items that are new and unused:

- Toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, mouthwash
- Hairbrushes, haircombs
- Shower gel, body wash
- Shampoo, conditioner
- Hand soap
- Deodorant
- Feminine hygiene products

For more information about making a donation, you can contact us on appeal@caritasanchorhouse.org.uk or phone 020 7 476 6062 and ask for the Fundraising Team.

Our charity is open 24/7 so donations can be dropped off at any time, but if possible, it'd be great if you could forewarn us first.
