Luton Foodbank will be closed on Easter Monday, 6 April 2026, but the organisation has confirmed that emergency food support will remain available for residents through its community partner, Discover Islam.
Those in urgent need of assistance can contact Discover Islam between 10 AM and 5 PM on Monday. The organisation is located at 37c Upper George Street, Luton, LU1 2RD, and can be reached by telephone at 01582 452356 or via email at [email protected]. Luton Foodbank is expected to reopen as normal on Tuesday.
This support arrangement is part of a long-standing partnership between the two organisations. Discover Islam, a registered charity founded in 2011, played a founding role in the establishment of the Luton Foodbank network in 2012. Today, Discover Islam operates as a distribution point within the foodbank’s wider network, which provides food parcels across various locations in the town throughout the week.
The need for such services remains high in the local area. Recent data indicates that nearly 10% of households in Luton are living in destitution, while a further 11.8% of residents struggle to afford basic essentials. Beyond its work with the foodbank, Discover Islam is entirely funded by the local community and provides additional support, including its Curry Kitchen initiative, which distributes approximately 5,000 meals every month.
