You can now sign up for our winter supermarket collection which takes place on Thursday, 29th and Friday, 30th November as well as Saturday, 1st December. We will be based at Tesco stores in Streatham and Brixton. Volunteer roles include handing out shopping lists to customers, sorting and stacking food donations and transporting the food to our warehouse.

We are hugely grateful to the City of London’s City Bridge Trust for providing a substantial grant that will enable the Brixton Advice Centre and Centre 70 to provide advice to Foodbank clients for the next three years. Advice workers will continue to be based at our Norwood, Brixton and Streatham branches and will liaise with clients during Foodbank sessions to provide expert guidance, especially in the areas of housing, benefits and debt.
Food donations are the bread and butter (pardon the pun) for our Foodbank, but monetary donations also have a huge part to play. Financial donations enable us to purchase specific food types when we run low, and contribute to the running costs we incur. There are a number of ways you can give ranging from one-off gifts to regular donations. Please click on the image above for more details or on the button below to make a contribution.
We are requesting donations of reusable canvas bags to help us pack our clients’ food parcels. Not only are these stronger than the plastic bags but they are also environmentally friendly and can be returned by our clients should they need to use our service again in the future.
We are short of these foods in October. If you could purchase any of the above mentioned items, we would be very grateful.
