Using a food bank

Community organisations like food banks can help you if you can’t afford the food you need.

Food banks are community organisations that can help if you can’t afford the food you need.

You’ll usually need to get a referral to a food bank before you can use it. This includes all food banks run by the Trussell Trust.

You can get a referral for yourself and any family members you live with – including your partner.

You might be able to use some food banks without a referral – for example, if it’s run by a church. Contact your local food bank to see if you need a referral.
