Ensuring no neighbor faces hunger alone, Al Mustafa Welfare Trust and Hounslow Jamia Masjid have collaborated on a critical food bank that operates purely to serve those struggling with food insecurity. The Community Shelf stands as a lifeline, providing essential support all year round.
For those experiencing the hardship of food insecurity, we prepare thoughtful assembled food parcels containing staples, fresh produce, and culturally appropriate foods. The Community Shelf is a beacon—a safe space with no barriers or questions, just dignified, immediate help whenever someone needs it.
The Community Shelf’s vision goes beyond just emergency relief. We want to build real community connections and turn acts of giving into communal support, love and compassion. Every effort of this amazing partnership is driven by the high purpose of rebuilding our community and fostering togetherness.
Join this vital movement to eliminate hunger in our community. Your contribution—whether through donations, volunteering, or spreading awareness—creates ripples of positive change for vulnerable families, strengthening our shared humanity with every meal provided.

Drop by between 12pm and 3pm and fill out a form and we’ll have your parcel ready within 24 hours. In emergencies we can have it ready the same day but always within 48 hours.
At The Community Shelf once a food parcel is ready we will call you and you can come and collect it directly from the food bank. Oftentimes a food parcel will vary depending on what’s in stock, just note that we always take into account any dietary requirements you tell us. We can’t always fulfill special requests but we’ll try our best to accommodate your needs.
A hearty food parcel might include tinned fish, vegetables, fruit, chickpeas, tomatoes, beans, soup, baked beans, pasta sauce, tea, sugar, cereal, pot noodles, rice, flour, long-life milk and lentils etc. You can also request specific items from this list but note that availability may vary.
