Donate Food To Food Bank
Without Your Support Our Food Aid Charity May Have to Close
Highams Park Hub helps families in Waltham Forest put food on the table when times are tough.
For five years, our food aid charity has helped neighbours sleep soundly with full stomachs. But with the cost of living rising and public funding disappearing, more people are going hungry.
If you can donate non-perishable food, we would be incredibly grateful. Right now, we are especially in need of tinned goods, pasta sauces, spreads, hot drinks & UHT milk. Every item helps us provide essential meals to families in need. Please give what you can and help us continue supporting our community.

Join us in this crucial mission, because we can never be satisfied while our neighbours go hungry.
If we were to ignore our neighbours, today while they’re struggling, what hope would there be for us if we found ourselves in financial hardship tomorrow?
