Please help us fund a new van

Please help us fund a new Foodbank van so we can support even more people in need

More people than ever in Woking are struggling to afford food, and this situation will only become worse as the current cost of living crisis intensifies.

We want to provide an even more flexible and inclusive service. We are currently developing the concept of a “mobile pantry”, which will bring desperately needed food directly to where people are – for example, homes, schools, and community/social centres.  We hope to make it possible for many more people every week to access food.

Our beloved van has served us well, but is now 17 years old and too small for our needs. We are overloading it regularly, and this is not doing our fragile foodstuffs (or the suspension!) any good. We have located a good quality secondhand, large electric van and are now raising funds to purchase it.

We need £25,000 to buy the van and would really appreciate your support. Please go to the Donate button on the front page of our website (the big red button in the top right corner) to contribute.

If you want to find out more, or you work alongside people in need who you think this initiative could help, please contact Alison at [email protected].
