We are a community-led registered charity which raises funds to purchase and deliver food and other essential items to a network of 33 food banks across North London and Hertfordshire.
Every donation makes a difference to Food Bank Aid and the food banks we support! We make it as easy as possible – you can donate money, drop off food and essential household items to 50+ collection points or send a supermarket delivery directly to our distribution hub.
We provide essential ingredients to encourage nutritious home cooking. We supply everyday toiletries, cleaning and personal hygiene products.
We communicate weekly with our food banks, sending them an option sheet and providing only what they need. This way nothing is wasted.
We link our food bank managers to create a network where they can share expertise. This network is also used to redistribute excess items and offload fresh goods.
We are a volunteer led organisation utilising our local community to pack, distribute and deliver food to the food banks.
Food Bank Aid is a grassroots charity. Our amazing volunteers have made it the success it is today – we can’t do what we do without you.

Food Bank Aid is a grassroots charity tackling food poverty across London. Since April 2020, we’ve been the vital bridge connecting generous communities with food banks serving our most vulnerable neighbours. Operating as a central donation hub, we support over 30 food banks across north London and Hertfordshire, reaching approximately 20,000 people including 5,000 children every week.
Our approach is both strategic and personal. We collect and sort donations of food, toiletries, and essential household goods, then distribute them directly to food banks based on their specific weekly requirements. Our dedicated volunteer drivers and sorting heroes work around the clock to ensure every donation reaches exactly where it’s needed most.
Our vision is to partner with food banks so they can nourish London families facing food insecurity, until our city is free from hunger. Whether you’re looking to volunteer your time or donate essential items, join us in building a future where everyone has access to the food they need to thrive.
