The British Heart Foundation, on Market Street, issued a call for help this week.
Anyone with donations can either drop them off at the shop or use the charity’s free collection service.
Manager Joanne Smith said: “We are now in urgent need, and we’re also hopeful more volunteers will come forward to help us in the shop.
“Call 01226 203281 if you can help - we’d appreciate it, particularly at this time of the year.”

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
