Southend Foodbank
We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by Trussell, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.
At Southend Foodbank we provide a 3-day food parcel for you to take home. It is free, but you must be referred to us from one of our referral agency partners. Our agencies include schools, housing associations, health centres, social prescribers, charities and many others who can chat with you about getting a voucher code to bring to one of our locations shown.
