Give Help
Donate food
Thank you so much for checking this page before donating food. We update it regularly so you can see what's most needed at the moment.
Changes due to impact of coronavirus
From 30 March, our five centres across Wandsworth are closed, and we’re switching to home delivery only. This temporary measure means we can continue providing emergency food to local people, while keeping everyone as safe as possible.
As our centres are closed, we’re asking people not to deliver food directly to us for now. Thanks so much.
You can still give vital help
We know the next few weeks and months are going to be busy at the food bank, especially as the impact of coronavirus hits local people. Could you:
- Give a financial donation to help support local families and people in crisis
- Give food online via Bankuet
What food do we need?
You can see the food we currently most need online at Bankuet, a social enterprise that’s helping people donate to food banks like ours. You can also visit ‘What’s in a Food Parcel?’ to see the food items we can accept.
Our food collection points at local supermarkets are still there, which some of our wonderful team and volunteers will continue to collect each week. Please see the table below for our various collection point locations:
