Wigston Food Bank

Organised by the Lions Clubs International (Oadby & Wigston branch), this is a self referral food bank. If you need help, you can just turn up, bring photo ID, proof of address, your own shopping bags (or trolley), and the suggested donation of £1.50. You will be provided with two bags of food for you and your family.

A big thanks to the staff and pupils of Parklands Primary School, South Wigston. They donated a mountain of food from their Harvest Festival to the South Wigston Foodbank. In today's tough climate this was a gift that will help so many families in the area.

A great big thank you to the members of Slimming World Wigston for their donation to Oadby & Wigston Lions Club for the South Wigston Food Bank.

It's important to have a wide variety of produce to hand out at the South Wigston Foodbank. We collect from Tesco and Sainsbury's supermarkets and also top up our stores from the FareShare food collection depots.
