Gloucester Foodbank believes that no one in our community should have to face going hungry. They partner with many agencies who identify and refer individuals and families who lack the funds to buy food for emergency parcels with enough food for 3-days plus toiletries. They also offer a free Financial Inclusion Service to help people on low incomes with welfare and debt advice.
They are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK. If you'd like to help, we've listed some items below which they are in desperate need for:
