Thank you for your support

In 2023 approximately 1,416kg of food was distributed to 85 homes in the Poringland, Framingham Earl and surrounding communities, equivalent to feeding 198 people who are in crisis for 3 days.

The Foodbank gives three days of emergency food to individuals and families in crisis. Local care professionals in the area refer people to a distribution centre with a food voucher.
