Worthing Food Foundation

The WFF is Worthing’s largest food support organisation, supporting around 1,000 local residents every month. We work in partnership with the Worthing Vegan Foodbank from our depot in East Worthing. We are a non-referral food service that supplies fresh produce, dry and tinned food, hygiene products, baby supplies, pet food and household products to people in need. The only requirement to receive food is that you are hungry. Up to four weeks of emergency food supplies are available to those in crisis or who are new to our local community and need a helping hand. Simply call or text our help number to register for our services. We offer a delivery service on Wednesdays and Fridays for those who are unable to visit our depot to collect their food supplies.

We also run a Community Food Club where people who need support from time to time can make a small contribution towards the costs of the food and other supplies that they receive.
