Donate food & essentials

Please donate what you can so that local people and families in hardship can have the essentials they need. Thank you!

We regularly update our donations list (right) so you can see what’s most needed across our six Wandsworth Foodbank centres right now.  Please only donate items that are in-date, unopened and don’t need to be refrigerated, as otherwise we’re not able to give them away. Thank you so much.

  • Donate at Wandsworth Foodbank donation points: You can find a list of  donation point locations below, with their opening times.
  • Bring larger food donations to our Wandsworth Town warehouse on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays 10am-3pm (see locations page or below)
  • Give food online via a financial donation to Bankuet: Your gift, specified for Wandsworth Foodbank, will enable us to bulk order food items we need for people, when we need it – and Bankuet will deliver it directly to us.
  • Give a financial donation  to help us continue to provide emergency food parcels, advice and support, as well as buying fresh fruit and veg, bread and eggs to go alongside emergency food parcels.
