Our needs

For up to date information as to our needs for specific items please like and follow our FaceBook page or download the free app Bank the Food from the 'App store'.

Please register on it and ‘follow’ Wallingford Emergency Food Bank (It is easy to find us if you enter OX10 (or RG8 for Woodcote) in postcode search).

On arrival at any of the supermarkets listed, the app will ping the phone with a list of the most urgent items the food bank needs.

Equally a user can check the app at any time to see what is urgently needed and shop wherever they choose.

Financial donations

Please donate money online via the Charities Aid Foundation here. Gift Aid is available while making your donation.

If you represent an organisation please make any donations by bank transfer as CAF bank cannot accept corporate donations. Please email ridgewayfood@outlook.com for our bank details.

You can also leave an envelope marked 'Food Bank' in The Fountain Community Hub with your donation enclosed. Cheques should be made payable to 'Wallingford Emergency Food Bank'. Gift Aid forms can be downloaded here or are available at The Fountain Community Hub.
