Walton & Hersham FoodBank Emergency food for people in crisis. How a foodbank works:

1. Local supermarkets with donations boxes are Waitrose, Hersham & Sainsbury’s, Walton.

Opening times for those with a referral:
Mon 12-2 - St Andrews Church, Wed 10-12 - St Peters Church, Thurs 10-12 & Friday 10-12 - St Johns Church. Food is donated
All food given out is donated, whether by schools, churches, businesses, individuals, or supermarket donation boxes. Additional drop off point at James Neave estate agents in high street, Walton.

2. Food is sorted by volunteers according to type and 'best before date'. They also check it is undamaged (and that it can be used in a food parcel) and pack it into parcels ready to be distributed. It is then taken to foodbank centres ready to be
distributed.

3. Care professionals such as doctors, health visitors, social workers, Citizens Advice Bureau staff, welfare officers, the police and probation officers, amongst others, identify people in crisis and issue them with a foodbank voucher or E referral code.

4. Clients bring their voucher or E referral code to a foodbank centre where it is exchanged for a three day parcel of food. Food parcels have been designed by dieticians to provide recipients with nutritionally balanced food. Get Involved:
Your gifts of time, funds or food can help stop local people going hungry. We could not do it without you.

1. Volunteer
There are many ways to get involved as a volunteer - you could help us with food sorting and packing, fundraising or promoting the foodbank to the local community. If you have some time to give and are willing to help, please get in touch.

2. Donate money as a one off donation or regular giving via our online giving page making sure that we are always here to help people in crisis. We appreciate whatever you can give, big or small.

3. Give food
Check out our most wanted items on the website. Our warehouse is open for donations, Wednesdays 10-12pm. Faulkner’s Road,
Hersham,
Surrey

We were so grateful to receive a cheque from Elmbridge Road Runners for £1,000. They generously supported the Foodbank during their annual 10k event in the summer.
We will use this money to help us supply food and other essentials to those struggling to make ends meet.
Thank you to the whole team at the club for all your efforts. 💚

Poverty and the cost of living, doesn't just affect food.

Last week was National Hygiene Week, and as this article shows, "people are increasingly unable to afford items they need to feel clean and healthy."

Top of our wish list at The Pantry @ The Bridge and Walton & Hersham FoodBank are:

• Deodorant
• Shaving gel / foam
• Shower gel
• Feminine hygiene products

If you're in a position to be able to donate to The Pantry or Foodbank, please consider donating some of these items to help a family in need.

Please find out more about what and where to donate, on the Walton & Hersham Foodbank website.
