There is a Food Bin drop off point for donations to the Folkestone Rainbow Centre Foodbank in Sandgate Library.

The call on the Foodbank, and their need for donations is greater at this time than ever. They really do need any help and donations you can offer: simply bring them to Sandgate library and drop off in the foodbin.

Waitrose in Hythe, Asda & Tesco in Folkestone, and Sainsbury’s also all have drop off points, and all dried or tinned food donations would make a big difference.

At this moment, there is particular need for Cup a Soups, Snacks, Tinned Meat, Rice Pudding and Tinned Custard.

Thank you.

Covid Food Bin Closure: June 2020 update

Sadly until we receive the news that we can reopen Sandgate Library, our Food Bin drop off point for donations to the Folkestone Rainbow Centre Foodbank is sadly out of action.

However, the call on the Foodbank, and their need for donations is greater at this time than ever. They really do still need any help and donations you can offer.

Both Waitrose in Hythe and Asda in Folkestone have drop off points, and all dried dried or tinned food donations would make a big difference. There is a great need for long life UHT milk, tinned meat and fish and tinned vegetables as well as breakfast cereals.

Thank you.
