Get emergency foodAbout us
We believe that no one in our community should face hunger.
That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to people in Kinson and West Howe.
Kinson and West Howe Foodbank is a project founded by St. Andrew's church Kinson. We work together with partner agencies towards stopping hunger in Kinson, West Howe and beyond. The food bank began life in 2015 and is staffed by volunteers.
We operate on a voucher basis whereby each client talks to an agency about their needs. The agency will then issue a voucher number which the client brings to the food bank to exchange for a food parcel. Agencies include many BCP departments, schools, Citizens Advice, social services and doctors.
We are part of a nationwide community of food banks, supported by Trussell, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.
