“The foodbank was there when we really needed it, it was an absolute lifeline.”

We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.

Bedford Foodbank is a charity that provides emergency food parcels to people experiencing crisis. Every day people go hungry for various reasons. We have over 80 volunteers and we work with referral agencies throughout Bedford to ensure clients can get further support.  For more information see here.
