About Feeding Isle of Wight

Our Story

Feeding Isle of Wight was created to respond to a growing need across our communities. What started as local support has grown into a coordinated effort to tackle food insecurity across the Island.

We work with community partners, pantries, and national organisations to redistribute surplus food and provide affordable access to essential items.

Current Initiatives

Surplus Food Distribution Centre

Building an Island-Wide Food Distribution System

Food support services across the Island have often operated independently, leading to duplication, inefficiencies, and missed opportunities to maximise available food.

 

Our central distribution centre brings everything together 

Support

Volunteer Efforts

We rely on the generosity of volunteers who help sort, pack, and distribute food supplies to our community. Their efforts are vital in ensuring we meet the needs of those we serve.

Our Supporters

Our work is made possible thanks to the incredible support of our commercial partners and grant funders.
