New Drop off Point for Donations
Dedworth Green Baptist Church, Smiths Lane, SL45PE
10-3pm Wednesday and Thursday
Please come into car park and leave boxes and bags to the side of the door (or knock if it’s raining!)
Important announcement: As our wonderful donors are rightly reducing their time outside their houses, we have to find new ways to obtain supplies to distribute. Please share this link to your friends and family and ask them to consider donating much needed financial support.
June 2020: Thank you very much to everyone who is donating at Tesco and Waitrose. To all those who have collection boxes at their house and to everyone who is putting food into these. We are sograteful.
This week sees us opening a second distribution point on a Thursday Evening. Many thanks to Kerith Church Windsor for making this happen.
At the moment we are a particularly in need of tinned meat, tinned pasta such as spaghetti hoops, ravioli etc, and pulses.
If you could avoid supplying soup and baked beans please that would help as we have a lot of those.
Our aim is to provide non perishable food on a short term basis, with vouchers issued for up to four weeks, to local families and individuals who would otherwise be going hungry. We are currently able to help up to 60 families per week from our distribution point at the Baptist Church, Smiths Lane, Dedworth. This means we distribute around 1800 food items every week.
To ensure that food reaches the people who need it most, we only supply food to families who have been referred to us by appropriate professionals see the How to Get Help page.
If you would be interested in helping, please see the How to Help page or alternatively, please let us have your details by emailing us.
If you feel we could help you, or someone you know, please see the How to Get Help page. You could check out our recipes page, it’s new and will hopefully grow over time.
Thank you for your visit.
