- The Wandsworth Foodbank has four Foodbank centres, based in churches strategically located in or near areas of highest deprivation in the Borough.They each open for one or two 2-hour sessions a week, meaning that on 6 out of the 7 days of the week, one of us will be open for local people in crisis to access emergency food.While the Wandsworth Foodbank is run by local churches, and Trussell Trust is a Christian charity, we help people in crisis of all faiths or none – no strings attached.
