Wendover Foodbank donation week Sunday 2 - Sunday 9 October 2022

Over the last three years, Wendover Youth Centre, Churches Together in Wendover and Wendover Parish Council have united with the Wendover Foodbank to organise five foodbank donation weeks since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020.

Since then, the demand for the foodbank in the Wendover and Chiltern areas has continued to increase, due to the rise in energy bills and inflation. Wendover has become a net "importer" compared to previously having more food than we distributed. The number of distributions that are happening in Wendover is increasing each year. There are local people struggling due to the current climate and needing support with food supplies.

Owing to this we have decided to run another Foodbank donation week from Sunday 2 - Sunday 9 October 2022.

During this week we encourage Wendover and the surrounding community to donate food to the Foodbank. Any donations are extremely appreciated and will go towards creating a food box for an individual or family who needs it.

Wendover Foodbank is part of the Chiltern Foodbank network, supported by the The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK. No one in our community should have to face going hungry. If you know an individual or family who are in need of the foodbank, please contact John Shaw on 07899 964037. The Wendover Foodbank serves Wendover and the surrounding areas, including Halton, Weston Turville, Aston Clinton & Stoke Mandeville.

For information regarding what items are needed and where to drop them off please refer to the flyer.
