The Al-Noor Food Drive

More than a food bank. A warm meal, a well-stocked pack, and a welcome with no conditions.

Every Thursday evening, without fail, our doors open to the vulnerable, the homeless, refugees, the elderly and anyone in need — regardless of faith or background. Over five years the Drive has grown from a mobile soup kitchen into a full welfare platform: hot meals and food packs, hygiene essentials, winter warmth for rough sleepers, gifts for refugee children, baby essentials for new mothers, and emergency support for families on the brink.

When & where

Every Thursday: 6:30–7:30pm

Where: Norbury Park entrance, Norbury Avenue, South London

Get support

If you or someone you know needs help, simply come along on a Thursday evening — no referral, no paperwork, no conditions. You will find a hot meal, a food pack to take home, hygiene essentials, and a warm welcome. Everything is free and open to all.

Volunteer with us

Our Thursday team is the heart of the Drive. Volunteers prepare and serve meals, pack groceries, welcome guests and support outreach to rough sleepers. We also host Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) volunteering placements for students. Give an evening a week, or an evening a month — every pair of hands counts.

Give to the Food Drive

You can support the Drive with a regular or one-off gift, donate food and essentials, or run a food collection at your workplace, school or mosque. Every pound goes further through our partnerships and volunteer effort.
