Hi I called the foodbank in Peckham and my other half dropped off some food around Xmas time and earlier this year -they were really friendly and grateful for the donations.

I have also dropped off some items at the Foodbank in Westminster.

They normally ask you to call first to make sure that someone can be around to let you in etc - sometimes they are staffed by volunteers and/or have very busy paid staff who are trying to speak to customers etc.

Feel free to message me if you have any further questions - happy to help.

I've also dropped some food there, after organising over email. Really friendly, they even sent a follow up email let me know my food (a lot of cereal bars) had been taken and appreciated.
