Get involved
There are lots of different ways to get involved.
Donate money
We know that not everyone has the time to volunteer with us or organise a food collection. You can help us support local people in crisis by donating money today.
Donate time
We are now accepting applications for volunteering at our warehouse (Tuesday evenings) and our crisis centres (Tuesday evenings + Friday daytime).
If you would like to support our work in this way, please fill out your information on the Contact Us page and we will be in touch within 5 working days with more information on how you can get involved…
Donate food
We always need donations of non-perishable foods and toiletries. From a few cans to an office food collection, we appreciate every donation and it goes a long way to make a difference.
Your support in numbers
Monthly donation
A gift of £50 would help cover the cost of a session with a member of the Advice & Support service team, as they help resolve the immediate crisis and work with people to put longer term solutions in place.
Volunteering hours
Each week, Tower Hamlets Foodbank needs over 74 volunteer hours to help collect, sort and distribute food. Without this level of support, the foodbank would not be able to meet the growing needs of the community.

Out of every £1 donated
For every pound you donate, 75p goes straight towards running our Foodbank and Advice & Support projects.
Fundraise for First Love
Don’t have the time to volunteer but would like to do something else instead? From organising a cake sale at your work place right through to running a marathon, you can help us support the Tower Hamlets community.
We can’t do it alone
The support of our partners is vital
Our corporate partners
Support from our corporate partners is invaluable. They help us in many ways – through financial donations, gifts-in-kind and by helping ensure we can continue to develop sustainably.
Partner organisations
We partner with over 250 agencies who are best placed to identify people in Tower Hamlets facing crisis. Together, we work to tackle the underlying issues that cause food poverty, ensuring no one slips through the cracks.
