What is Windsor FoodShare?
Windsor Foodshare is a scheme set up to to provide non perishable food to families and individuals who would otherwise be unable to feed themselves. It was started in October 2013 and is based at Dedworth Green Baptist Church.The project is run in partnership with Windsor churches to provide support for people urgently in need of food. Those in need are then referred to local authorities such as social services, schools, GPs and church leaders.
Who Does It Help?
We are currently able to help up to 40 families per week from distribution points in Central Windsor and Dedworth.
We seek to help individuals or families where one or more people in the home are not able to eat one of more days during a week because they can not afford it.
