Swindon Foodbank people care passionately about their local community. They want to actively help others in need in their neighbourhoods.
Here’s how you can be part of the ‘big heart’ that’s at the centre of your community.
Donate Food
Without the generous donations of food - we'd have nothing to distribute!
You can donate food at any time, by dropping it off at one of our Food Drop Off points:
- the Distribution Centre - St Aldhelm’s Centre, Thursdays/Fridays 14.30 to 16.30
- Swindon Restore, St Johns Church Hall, Whitbourne Avenue, Monday to Friday 10.00 to 16.00
- Hairworks, Freshbrook Village Centre, SN5 8LY
- Swindon Emporium, The Craft Village, Butterfly World Wroughton
- Natwest Bank, Commercial Road, Swindon
Alternately, we regularly hold Supermarket Collection - take a look at our Events page to find out when and where our next collection will be.
If you would like to donate food, please take a look at our Food Shopping List to know the sorts of items we require.
Volunteer
