The object of Slough Foodbank is the prevention or relief of poverty in the United Kingdom, mainly in Slough and the surrounding area, in particular but not exclusively by providing emergency food supplies to individuals in need, as motivated by the principles of the Christian Faith.

Slough Foodbank believes that no one in the community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days worth of nutritionally balanced, emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. Last year we had 3,517 referrals which provided 7,365 emergency food parcels, sadly we have seen a 54% increase in the past two years. In addition to providing food and basic toiletries, we try, by means of signposting and monitoring and discussions with the supporting referrer to give a helping hand through a crisis.
