Wokingham Foodbank

Wokingham Foodbank provides emergency food and practical support to people in their hardest moments. We also work with partners and local communities to ensure everyone gets the right help long before they need a foodbank.

Christmas 2024

Reverse Advent Calendar

Christmas can be a difficult time for many, especially for those living on a tight budget. Can you help us support those in need this Christmas? The Reverse Advent Calendar works differently to a traditional one by using the days in November to collect items in a bag or box to give to a local family in need this Christmas.
