Drop off times at Foodshare (in the Nicholsons Centre) are: Wednesday, 5pm to 6.30pm and Saturdays

9.15am to 11.30am.

People can donate via various supermarket drop-off points, or at a number of micro collection points across Maidenhead.

To find out where the collection points are, visit www.foodshare. today

The foodbank organisers would also love to hear from those wanting to volunteer.

Volunteers are needed to help run the main foodbank and new shop, launched in June.

Those volunteering need not commit to every single week, as Foodshare can put them on a rota. There is no upper age limit for volunteering at Foodshare – anyone over 18 can do so if they feel they are fit and healthy enough.

For any questions about donations or volunteering, contact Foodshare trustee Debbie Gee on debbie@foodshare.charity
