Oxford Food Hub marks record milestone as demand continues to rise

Oxford Food Hub has reached a record milestone – supporting 250 frontline charities and community organisations across Oxfordshire with free surplus food and essential household items.

The milestone means Oxford Food Hub is helping an estimated 14,000 individuals every week, supplying food to a wide range of organisations, including community kitchens, refuges, food pantries, schools, and support services working directly with people facing food insecurity.

Oxford Food Hub exists to reduce food waste and share good quality surplus food with those who need it most. Working with retailers, suppliers, and local partners, the charity redistributes predominantly fresh food six days a week from its warehouse in Oxford.

While the organisation is proud to be supporting more people than ever, this growing demand is placing increasing pressure on its finances, volunteers, and operational costs. Oxford Food Hub relies on individual donations to keep food moving across the county. Regular monthly donations are especially vital, helping the charity plan ahead and continue redistributing food consistently to its partner organisations.

“Reaching 250 supported charities is a huge milestone for us, and it reflects both the strength of our community and the scale of need across Oxfordshire. Every donation helps us reduce food waste and make sure surplus food reaches people who need it. Monthly donations allow us to keep delivering fresh food reliably to hundreds of organisations, even as demand continues to rise.”- Steve Hamon, CEO at Oxford Food Hub

Entirely donor and grant-funded, Oxford Food Hub is calling on supporters to help sustain this work by setting up a monthly donation. Donate today to help Oxford Food Hub keep food moving and reduce food waste.
