Wokingham Foodbank

15/06/2026

All our food donations come from the generous Wokingham community.

As we continue our efforts to support the local community, we are seeing a fall in donations.

Food donations were down 35.86% in April compared to April last year.

When peoples shelves are empty, ours can't be. Please think of us during your next shop. The items we are in need of this month are shown in the shopping list.

40,000+ volunteers give up their time every year to support Trussell and their food banks. So much time and commitment is devoted to making sure no one goes hungry.

We have an amazing team of 106 volunteers covering many areas of the food bank. They are the heart and soul of the food bank, making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes and each individual referred to the food bank is supported in an emergency.
