The Well (Home of Wolverhampton Foodbank)
Wolverhampton, UK
We are a local Christian community project, who run Wolverhampton's main foodbank. We support city residents, plus some in the villages bordering the North of the city.
We help families & single people in severe financial difficulties by delivering free food parcels to where they live.
The parcels include both tinned/dried, fresh and frozen foods, as well as toiletries,household supplies,baby toiletries and pet food. Each parcel aims to provide 3 days of food to all in the household.
We partner with statutory/voluntary agencies who assess/refer those in need.
Sadly, the need for our service continues to grow. In the year 2018-19 we supported over 9400 people - our highest number since we started in 2006.
