How It Works

We collect tinned and dried food from donations via supermarkets and other local collection points. We then store the goods in our warehouse before compiling emergency food boxes for distribution.

 

 

Each box consists of three days worth of nutritionally balanced tinned and dried food, designed to give individuals or families in crisis a breathing space while support is organised.

 

 

The food boxes are obtained by exchanging food vouchers. The vouchers are issued by the Foodbank and professional care workers (working in healthcare, children and family centres, social services or pastoral care through churches).

 

The vouchers are exchanged for a food box at our shop in Blackfield, whilst having a cup of tea/coffee. We can also provide additional support in the form of counselling, information concerning other agencies and contacts who may be able to help tackle the root cause of problems and provide further assistance.
