As of 5th April 2022, Langley Free Church became the Langley distribution centre for the Slough Food Bank whos aim is to help local people in crisis.
Those who are in critical need of food can be referred from one of many agencies. The distribution centres can only give out food to those with a referral.
Donations are made to Food Bank by the general public and some businesses.
Unfortunately, the distribution centres are not collection points for those donating food. The best way is to place donated items in the allocated boxes at many supermarkets.
