Donate food
During the Coronavirus, COVID -19 pandemic you can still donate food to the store locations as instructed BELOW here. We update our shopping list regularly (on the right here) according to changes in stock levels, so do keep checking this page for further updates. Thank you to you all for your continued donations at this difficult time. It is very much appreciated by all of us here at foodbank.
If you want to donate in person you can drop items off to our SOUTH LONDON WAREHOUSE at St Margaret's Church, Barcombe Avenue, SW2 3BH Monday to Friday 9am - 2pm. There will usually be our large blue drop boxes outside the church (weather permitting) so donations can go directly in those. PLEASE NOTE as part of THE QUIET ROADS SCHEME there are many new wooden planters around the Streatham Hill area on the ABCD roads, which are now affecting access to our foodbank at St Margaret’s Church. If you need to drive to us, the easiest way to access Barcombe Avenue is from Streatham High Road (A23). Alternatively, you can drop items at the various local supermarkets, cafes and shops in their drop boxes, listed BELOW:
Our food bank relies on your goodwill and support.
Over 90% of the food distributed by foodbanks in The Trussell Trust network is donated by the public. This is 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.
Our shopping list on the right shows the food items that we need right now.
