Sainsburys were out first food suppliers, it's where it started. 

More people are turning to food banks. Latest figures show that a third of the people receiving emergency handouts are children.

We have done it - we have moved premises!

A message from Riki Therivel ...

The North Oxfordshire Rotary have been donating to the Oxford Food Bank since 2011.

The Oxford Rotary clubs have been very generous to the Oxford Food Bank with their time and financial support.

A fantastic opportunity has come about thanks to Opus energy (An independent energy supplier ) who are running a competition for not-for-profit groups in Oxfordshire.  

We have been asked to produce a video about how we would use the gift prize should we win.

Well, as many of you will know that we are soon going to have to vacate our current base of operations by the end of the year so this cash prize can really help us to move and settle into new premises.  

Oxford Food Bank have just received a cheque for £600 from the day at Sainsburys, Kidlington!  Many thanks Sainsburys for this generous donation!!

The Sainsbury’s collection was made by the Rotary Club of Woodstock.  Thank you so much and of course thank you to all the Sainsburys customers!

A C Nielsen and Vertex were the two companies who helped back at the base.

EVANS WOOLFE MEDIA, established in 1991, is a leading educational media production company.
They produce broadcast factual programming, drama and specialist training resources for the education and health sectors.

Thank you very much to the many people who contributed money and showed interest in the OFB at today's street collection in Cornmarket.  Thanks particularly to the narby Big Issue seller who felt that we were attracting some of the people who would normally be giving him money, but who still gave us a donation himself.

We're delighted that five new drivers have joined us in August.  Welcome to Craig, Maria, Laivon, Saman and Richard.

We have brand new van, generously donated by The Rotary clubs of Abingdon Vesper, Oxford Isis, Oxford Spires.  Thank you so much.  It means now we can take on more deliveries.  That also means we are looking for help too. 

So please do contact us if you would like to get involved or make a donation to help us with ongoing running costs like petrol and electricity costs.
