About the Food Bank

The Food Bank provides support for families and single people struggling to buy food and other essentials. For the poor and vulnerable throughout the year, people on low incomes, a sudden crisis can mean going hungry. The Food Banks help prevent crime, housing loss, family breakdown and mental health problems. A simple box of food makes a big difference.
