Foodbank and Other Help
Help from Foodshare
Our Food Hub is a foodbank with dignity.
We offer help to individuals or families where one or more person in the home is not able to eat at least one full day during a week because they can not afford it without help.
How to Get Food
The boxes below explain how to get food.
Catchment Area
We help people living in and around Maidenhead.
If you are in need of help and are out of our catchment area, the following other groups may be able to help:
-
One Can Trust (High Wycombe and Beaconsfield)
Emergency Requests
We understand that some people have such an urgent need for food that they do not have time to organise a voucher.
Anyone who finds themselves in that situation should leave a message on our emergency voucher helpline,
Please note this line is only for genuine emergencies and can only be used for a single voucher. Once we have made sure you have enough to eat, we then help you find a referrer for future weeks where needed.
