Story
We have been operating since April 2020, initially starting as a local support group for people affected by Covid, (collecting food, prescriptions, or just someone to talk to) over time this grew and in December 2020 we started our food support project.
This comprised of us collecting, sorting, bagging and delivering food every week, supporting up to 100 people every week.
The Walton Community Council expressed an interest in what we were doing and after months of preparation, we were finally able to open the food bank, which was opened on December 19th by the Mayor of Milton Keynes.
We are currently open 3 times a week on a Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday between 11am and 12pm and we aim to be the difference for as many people as we can possibly cater to.
We need to be able to provide a constant supply of food, but we also run a children's clothes exchange, as well as occasionally
We are a formally registered charity and are registered with the Charity Commission under number 1199332
