Donate food
Our foodbank relies on your goodwill and support.
The quickest way to find out what Faversham Foodbank needs is to use the BanktheFood app on a smart phone.
Over 90% of the food distributed by foodbanks in The Trussell Trust network 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.
Our shopping list on the right shows the food items that we need right now.
Please do not donate baby food or milk formula, we do not have a great demand for these items and to prevent it going out of date on our shelves we have a small fund available to buy them as needed.
If you are happy to drop off food donations, please see the table below for our food collection points locations:
| Location of food donation point | Opening hours | Comments |
| Tesco Supermarket, Crescent Road | During store open hours | Front of store past the checkouts in-store purchases only |
| Sainsbury’s Supermarket, Bysingwood Road | During store open hours | Front of store between checkouts and exit in-store purchases only |
| Aldi Tettenhall Way | During shop open hours | Collection point past checkouts |
| The Gospel Mission Church, Tanners Street | 12.30pm to 4pm Wednesday & Fridays only | If no one is at the door please wait for a volunteer to come and see you or ring the bell |
| St Mary of Charity Church, Church Road | When ever the Church is open | A coloured Collection box is visible on entering the Church |
NB Tesco collection points are intended for food that has been purchased in-store. Any food that has been purchased in a different store and brought into the store’s collection points should be sealed by the donor and clearly labelled as having been purchased elsewhere.
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.
Please contact us if you have any questions about donating food.
