Walton-on-Thames Charity
Walton and Hersham Food Bank
Walton Charity is part of the Walton and Hersham Food Bank network, a partnership with St Mary’s with St John’s Church in Walton and St Peter’s in Hersham. The Walton and Hersham Food Bank aims to supply an emergency 3-day food parcel to families and individuals experiencing crisis.
The Walton and Hersham Food bank is a successful partnership, providing parcels of food to last three days to people in crisis or financial difficulty. We particularly help those who have recently had an unexpected change in circumstances.
Food Bank leafletMost food parcels are collected from one of our distribution points, however some Food Bank clients require their parcel to be delivered to their homes.
Donations
The Food Bank relies on donations from members of the community and corporate groups. If you would like to donate to the Food Bank please bring any items to the Walton Charity offices between the hours of 9am to 5pm, Mondays to Fridays. Please note that the entrance to the offices at Mayfield is on West Grove road. Please click here for the office location map.
For large (e.g. corporate) collections we are able to collect from your location, if arranged in advance. We are particularly looking for non-perishable food items such as tinned vegetables, pasta and soup. Please click here for a more extensive list.
