Important Update: Re:store Northampton, including Northampton Food Bank
Re:store Northampton has remained open. We have been busier than ever, providing food, clothing, toys and gifts to over 1500 children and adults in financial crisis through lockdown.
A BIG THANK YOU to those who have supported Re:store financially through this season - we eagerly accept ongoing support, especially for Growbaby, as we are having to purchase items new to reduce risk. We are still unable to accept physical donations on site of food, clothing etc.

Re:store is passionately committed to serving the vulnerable in our communities who have no other support network, and we are so pleased to be able to continue to do this during this time of crisis. We are a small charity, run mostly by volunteers, and have had to make tough decisions to protect our team and the public, and follow national guidance. This means that our services will not run in the usual way, we will limit contact and just provide for people in absolute crisis.
As Re:store considers the safety and wellbeing of all our guests, partners and volunteers to be of paramount importance, we will not be able to re-open many of activities on site that build community. So HUB will remain closed until further notice, and NEST will continue to meet virtually - please see the individual page for more information. We await Government guidance as to when restrictions can be lifted to a satisfactory level, and we will be overjoyed to welcome people on site when it will be safe and comfortable for all.
If you are in need of food, nappies or other essentials please contact a Referral Agency - you cannot access a food parcel without a valid code. If you have a referral for the Food Bank, we have various Distribution Points open. If you are in an ‘at risk’ category, live with people at risk, or you or someone in your household have any symptoms of the coronavirus infection you must not access Northampton Food Bank and need to self-isolate for the recommended time.

We are unable to accept food donations at this time, although we know we will be in increasing need, but we would gladly accept financial donations to allow our invaluable work to continue - we are aiming to secure access to larger food warehouses/distribution if finance allows. Please see our website for how to donate:
