Give Help
Donate money
Our foodbank is run by local people for local people – we rely on the community’s support to ensure we can continue to stop people going hungry.
All the money you give goes to helping local people here in the Basingstoke & Deane area. Most of it is used to run the foodbank and provide food and other essentials for those facing hardship and crisis. We also use some of it to provide specialist advisers to help people with the issues that caused them to need the foodbank, providing help with debt advice, budgeting support, maximising benefits etc. to help move them through, and out of crisis so they don’t need to use the Foodbank again. If you want to specify how your donation is used, please say.
