So as we are nearing Christmas. (I know, it's only October, but we have to prepare for Christmas months before it happens so we can take care of everyone in need.) We are going to need more than just food. If people are unable to afford the food they need, then their children are going to go without presents too on Christmas. So when you do your shopping, could you pick up and extra gift and donate it to the food bank? Please do not wrap these gifts. We will wrap them ourselves. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!Every kid should open a gift on Christmas morning. Help make this happen for our food bank families. Pick up an extra gift while you're shopping. Drop off @ St Swithun's (Mon/Weds/Fri 2 - 4pm) or Salvation Army, Duke Street (Tues/Weds/Thurs 10am- 12)
Would just like to say a huge thank you to AFC Unity and Wickersley Youth Ladies Football Club for their big donation of 105kg of food from their game last Sunday. We're very grateful! You are fantastic.

View MapHow to make a Referral
We accept referrals from anyone in a professional capacity.We at times receive fraudulent referrals. It would be helpful if where possible you could use your organisational stamp
- 1.) Online
- 2. )Downloading the form and giving it to the client to bring with them to the Food Bank.
- 3. )In emergencies we will accept a telephone referral (07804 406 267) which will then need to be followed up at a later date with the referral form
There are three ways of referring:
Are you in need of food?
If you are in need of food please in the first instance consult a professional such as your doctor, social work, housing officer, CAB advisor, health visitor, etc and they will be able to refer you.
However in an emergency you can contact us on:
07804 406 267

Or visit us at St Swithun's or The Salvation Army, Duke Street and we will give you an emergency food parcel and help you arrange a formal referral.
