Squeeze Concert
The band Squeeze celebrated their 50th Anniversary with a concert at the Hexagon Theatre in Reading. Throughout their career they have supported the Trussell Trust, which co-ordinates Foodbanks. They ask all their ticket-holders to donate, and they invited four of our volunteers to attend the concert to collect donations. Linda, Catrin, Bob and Alan collected over £800, and had a great night out! We are very grateful for Squeeze's support

We are totally dependent on the support of local residents and businesses who donate food, money and time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

We accept food donations at collection bins in most supermarkets. There a list of the items running low here. The link also shows the location of our collection bins. However, you can install an app called Bank the Food on you phone that will be automatically updated, and can give you a reminder each time you go to your supermarket.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

We couldn't operate without the efforts of our great volunteers who collect donations from supermarkets, sort them, create food parcels, interact with clients and deliver to clients who lack transport. We currently have 97 volunteers. Click here if you are able to offer some time to help

If you feel able to give us financial support we welcome all donations through LocalGiving.
