Get to know your local food bank

Help your local community and those in need by understanding why we have food banks, and how they support us. What have you heard about food banks? How has local person like Jack Monroe been involved?

Where to start

Research the food banks near you, these are sometime in churches or other community venues.


Find out how you can help, some people donate food or money, or their time in helping at the foodbank. You could do something to fundraise for your local food bank.


How about researching why food banks exist and when was the first food bank was introduced in the UK.
