We are already planning for Christmas 2024 and would welcome your involvement.
When you donate goods, food or clothing to The Whitechapel Mission, you impact the lives of the poor and homeless in London. This year, our donors and volunteers helped The Whitechapel Mission provide more than 129,752 meals, 34,000 bags of groceries, and 352,541 articles of clothing to men and women in desperate need of help. We rely on donated food and clothing to meet these important needs.
We do not operate charity shops! Anything donated to the Whitechapel Mission will be given directly to people in need.
We gratefully accept donations seven days a week at 212 Whitechapel Road, London E1 1BJ
It is always helpful to call ahead. We do not typically pick up donations, but if you are having difficulty delivering your donation, please call us on 020 7247 8281.

Weekdays: 5:30am until 4pm
Weekends: 5:30am until noon
