We’re thrilled to announce that Reading Pantries and Readifood have been selected as one of the Mayor of Reading’s official charities for the year 2025/2026! This is a huge honor and a testament to the hard work of our team and the incredible support from our community.

Faith Christian Group, the organization behind Readifood and Reading Pantries, has been working since 1996 to alleviate poverty and support those who are poor, needy, or homeless in Reading.

Here’s a snapshot of what we do:

  • Readifood: We deliver emergency food to around 150 households in need each week.
  • Readistreet: We provide food in the town center to those who are homeless or hungry.
  • Reading Pantries: Our network of 8 food pantries across Reading supports over 500 members with access to subsidised food, friendship, and additional support.
  • Winter Night Shelters: During winter, we offer two night shelters for verified homeless individuals, providing a warm space, evening meal, bed, and breakfast to up to 40 guests each night.

We’re excited to partner with the Mayor of Reading and Reading Borough Council to further our mission and continue supporting the Reading community. We’ll be sharing more updates throughout the year, so stay tuned!

Huge thanks to everyone who supports our work. Together, we can make a real difference in Reading.
