Food Bank

We are a distribution centre for the Black County Food Bank, enabling us to offer support to local people who are experiencing temporary difficulties. In 2019, the Black County Food Bank network helped over 16,000 people in need in the local area. In 2019, our food bank assisted 3361 customers.

Reasons that people may need to access our Food Bank include: benefit delays, sanctions, temporary reductions in income, debts or setting up home after a period of homelessness.

To receive help from the Food Bank, you will need to obtain a Food Bank voucher. A full list of local organisations that can issue vouchers is available here..
