Aldershot: The Community Grub Hub

Community Grub Hub

The Community Grub Hub is a collective of people, organisations and businesses in and around Farnborough and Aldershot who care about offering food support to those in need in an open and supportive way, while reducing food waste.

It is like a shop but stock has been donated by local supermarkets, businesses and residents to prevent food waste and support people in need. It is all in-date and good quality. You can pick up items to help make meals (including some fresh items) and we have household and personal hygiene products too.
