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

Cowes Community Pantry

Our community pantry supports those in need by providing a variety of food items. Open weekly, it empowers families to gather essential supplies at no cost, promoting food security.

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. From businesses donating surplus food and providing logistical support, to funders enabling us to grow our services and reach more people, these partnerships are vital to everything we do. Their support allows us to keep our pantry affordable, expand our distribution network, and continue building a sustainable, Island-wide food system that benefits everyone.
