Supermarket donations
You can donate items during your supermarket shop by leaving them at donation points at the following locations. Your donations will be delivered to us, where we’ll pack them into emergency food parcels.
Please note: Tesco and Asda donation points are intended for food that has been purchased in-store. We kindly request that any food that has been purchased in a different store and brought into either Tesco or Asda for donation, should be sealed by the donor and clearly labelled as having been purchased elsewhere.
Find your nearest supermarket donation point below.
Don't let it rot on the plot
It's great to grow your own food, but you might find it's all ready at the same time. If you've grown more fruit and veg in your garden or allotment than you can use, please consider donating it to Woking Foodbank.
