Donate food
Our foodbank relies on your goodwill and support.
Over 90% of the food distributed by foodbanks in The Trussell Trust network is donated by the public – that’s why your food donations are absolutely vital to our ability to give everyone referred to us a balanced and nutritious three day supply of food.
See our page ‘What’s in a Food Parcel?’ to see the food items we can accept. Our shopping list on the right shows the food items that we need right now.

Thank you so much for all your donations.
Please bring any food donations to our central store at St Mark’s Church, Battersea Rise any time during office hours, Mon-Fri 9.30-5pm (Boutflower Road Entrance). If you are bringing a larger donation (more than a couple of shopping bags), or if you need help unloading a donation, please call us on 0207 326 9428 so that we can ensure we have someone who can help you. Many thanks. Our favourite days to receive food are Mondays and Tuesdays.
Donations can also be brought to any of our Foodbank Centres during their specific opening times.
There are also now permanent collection points at Waitrose stores in Clapham Junction, Southside and Putney Exchange, as well Sainsbury’s in Garratt Lane, Balham, Putney and Earlsfield, and Co-op Northcote Road. Donations can be left there during store opening times, and will all come to Wandsworth Foodbank.
We can accept Online Supermarket deliveries at St Mark’s Church on a Monday between 10am-5pm. Please add Wandsworth Foodbank to the delivery note and let us know what time to expect it.
We are piloting a new way to donate food online with Bankuet Social Enterprise. View and purchase our most-needed items on their website here. Please add our address (Wandsworth Foodbank, St Mark’s Church, Battersea Rise, SW11 1EJ) when ordering. Anything purchased here will be delivered directly to us at a convenient time.
If you would prefer to donate money you can do that online here. We can claim Gift Aid if you are UK taxpayer. This money can then be spent on food as and when most needed.
Please contact us if you have any questions about donating food.
Last year, 32 tonnes of food was generously donated by the public. Thank you!
