Donate Food
Our foodbank relies on your goodwill and support.
Over 90% of the food distributed by Greenwich Foodbank is donated by the public – that’s why your food donations are absolutely vital to our ability to give everyone referred to us a balanced and nutritious three-day supply of food.
Donate an online grocery shop
We are open to receive any donations made via online shops between 10am & 3pm Monday – Friday.
Please note that we cannot accept any online deliveries scheduled outside of these times.

Contact us
We always welcome donations and promise to use them to provide help to people in crisis. Occasionally we send food to other nearby foodbanks to support their work particularly if they experience shortages. This ensures your donations go to help people wherever in the UK they are.
