The foodbank receives donations of food and other items from organisations, churches, businesses and individuals which we sort and store. We also provide toiletries, cleaning products, nappies, clothes and cooking equipment. Local agencies with access to those in crisis request emergency food from the foodbank. We distribute this food through our four centres. Our distribution centres offer refreshments, opportunities to chat and signposting to support agencies.
