Donate Food

Donating food is one of the most direct ways to support the work of Llanelli Foodbank. We accept non-perishable items such as canned goods, pasta, rice, cereals, and toiletries, as well as fresh, nutritious food where possible. Your donations help us create balanced food parcels for families and individuals who are struggling to afford their next meal. Every item donated brings us closer to ensuring no one in Llanelli goes hungry.

Volunteer

Give your time. Change a life. Find your place.

Volunteering at Myrtle House is more than lending a hand—it’s about being part of something meaningful. Whether you’re making tea, serving meals, running a workshop, sorting food donations, or simply offering a listening ear, every role plays a part in transforming lives and building community.

We’re a people-first, purpose-driven place where everyone has something valuable to give. No special skills needed—just a kind heart, willing hands, and a desire to help others.

Fundraise

Raise hope. Rally others. Make a real difference.

At Myrtle House, we believe in the power of people coming together to make change happen. When you fundraise for us, you're doing more than raising money - you’re helping provide hot meals, warm spaces, vital advice, and dignity to people in crisis across our community.

Whether you’re baking, running, streaming, hosting a quiz night, or taking on a personal challenge, every pound raised helps us continue our work - without relying on government funding.

What your support means:

£10 covers a warm meal for a single person

£40 provides 3-day food support for a single person

£90 provides 7-day food support for a single person

Every gift—big or small—brings hope

We’ll cheer you on every step of the way!

Need help getting started? We can provide support, materials, and inspiration to make your fundraiser a success.

Refer Someone in Need: Spread the Word

Know someone going through a tough time? We’re here to help.

At Myrtle House, we believe no one should have to face hardship alone. Whether someone is struggling with food insecurity, debt, loneliness, mental health, or simply needs a warm place to be - we offer practical help and a listening ear.

Sometimes, all it takes is someone to point the way. If you know a friend, neighbour, family member, or client who could benefit from our support, please let them know we’re here. Most of our services don’t require a referral - they can just come along.

We can help with:

Emergency food parcels (via referral to Llanelli Foodbank)

Community meals and low-cost food

Money advice and debt support

Warm, safe spaces and mental health drop-ins

Cooking, creative, and wellbeing workshops

Friendship, connection, and community

Together, we can ensure that no one in Llanelli faces hunger or hardship alone. 

Join us today - whether by donating, volunteering, fundraising, or referring someone in need and be part of a community committed to uplifting one another and creating lasting change.
