Kingswood -BS15 Foodbank Outlet

29/07/2026

On Tuesday, it was a very busy day at the Kingswood Foodbank. Last weeks 35 people who were served was surpassed with 39 being served. This is the highest this year as is the 97 people fed (59 adults and 38 children). Of course, it is the school holidays so we were expecting to feed more but not quite this many.

Unsurprisingly, there are large gaps on the shelves. We are completely out of tinned fruit, rice pudding, custard, coffee and sugar. We also have few supplies of tinned toms, meat & fish, rice, drinking chocolate, jam, crisps, pot noodles, tea bags, biscuits, washing powder/pods washing up liquid, toilet roll, shampoo, and shower gel.

Here's hoping you can help us (and our clients): thank you all very much.

We served 36 Clients at the Kingswood Foodbank yesterday, the same number as last week. However, the actual number of people fed was less than last week - 42 adults and 10 children - as there was not as many families.
