Foodbank

Opening hours: Saturday, 12:00-14:00

Location: The Parish hall, adjacent to the church.

Our food bank is primarily a distribution centre for Hillingdon Foodbank, which is itself part of a larger, nationwide network of food banks. We distribute a week's worth of essentials to individuals and families in an emergency situation, such as catastrophic illness or unemployment.

In addition, we partner with FareShare to distribute fresh food from major food retailers that would otherwise go to waste. We can also provide smaller parcels of food and essentials (such as toiletries or long-life milk) to those struggling to make ends meet.

To avoid long queues, we run an appointment system at our centre. To make an appointment, call or text 07563 775 777 or email foodbank@svpsouthruislip.org.uk.
