If you would prefer to donate financially there are several ways that can be done. These funds can be used to top up on non-perishable foods and household products we are short of, as well as to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. The need for our service is increasing, and our cash and food donations are decreasing.
This year we held our first ever sponsored walk to raise funds for Windsor Foodshare. On Saturday 27 April 2024 we ‘looped the lake’ at Virginia Water to raise funds and supplies for Windsor Foodshare.
Thank you so much to everyone that took part and to everyone who has donated so generously.
The rain held off and everyone made it round the loop.
So far we have raised over ten thousand pounds.
We’re looking forward to making this an annual event.

We are one of the few foodbanks that is able to supply fresh fruit and vegetables on a weekly basis. We need help to continue.
We feel strongly that our fruit and veg provision is vitally important. For some of our clients, this is the only fresh food they will get.
Last year, we spent over £21,000 a year on fruit and veg. With rising food prices, this bill sharply increased over the last six months.
The annual total is a large figure. But when you break it down over the people we help to feed (7,281 in 2022 alone), it works out to around £2.88 per person.
How you can help
You could sponsor a person to receive fruit and vegetables with a regular donation of £15 a month. If this is too much, you could consider sponsoring them for one week a month (£3.50 a month).
One-off donations are also invaluable to help us to keep providing this much-needed fresh food.
The easiest way to donate is via Just Giving. If you can, please remember to add gift aid as this gives us 25% on top of your donation!
