About our food bank
Emergency food, support and advice for people across Wandsworth borough who are facing hardship
We provide a warm welcome, emergency food and support, and advice from our Foodbank Advice Project, to people and families across Wandsworth borough who are referred to us in hardship.
In 2023/24 we provided more than 11,000 emergency food supplies to local people, alongside support and advice to help tackle the issues causing hardship and hunger. One in three emergency food parcels were for children.
You can find out more about why people are experience hardship and needing to use our food bank in our 2023 report Pressure is Rising.
When people are referred to Wandsworth Foodbank with a food bank voucher, most visit one of our six food bank welcome centres in churches and community centres across the borough. However we also provide home delivery to people referred to us who can’t get to our centres because of disability or ill-health, which is about one in five households referred.
None of this would be possible without the continued, incredible generosity of people in our local community who give food, money and time to provide food, support and hope to local people and families in hardship. We’re so grateful. Thank you.
