Our story

In May 2016 our church set up the Selhurst Community Kitchen to provide nutritious food for the most vulnerable people living on the streets and others in need in Croydon and the surrounding areas. From 2020, as a result of the pandemic, we extended our activities to providing a Food Bank. With the number of homeless people increasing each year, the Selhurst Food Bank & Community Kitchen is committed to making sure that as long as this crisis continues there will be hot and healthy food available to those in need. This can only be done with your continued support in both donations and volunteering.

The Selhurst Food Bank & Community Kitchen is open all year round, and serves freshly cooked hot take-away meals, as well as parcels of food and toiletries to anyone who turns up, regardless of their circumstances. We also provide clothing. Please just come along and enjoy the company of our community.

Items to donate

We always welcome donations and promise to use them to provide help to adults in crisis.

Please bring in your donations on Tuesdays between 5pm and 7:30pm. We run our Foodbank and Community Kitchen from the church hall which can be accessed from the side entrance when you enter the church yard. 

Take a look at our donation list to see what items to donate, and don’t forget that we also accept essential non-food items such as toiletries and hygiene products, helping people in crisis to maintain dignity and feel human again.
