Billingham and Stockton Food Bank
Providing three days' nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. Part of a nationwide network of food banks supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.
People are referred to us by front-line agencies who give vouchers which we exchange for food. They can also come to us for advice via 'Help through Crisis' from a citizens advice representative, refreshments, lunch, clothes/coats/school uniforms/baby stuff and household items. What's more, we run a fantastic cooking course for cooking on a budget and a Job club for those searching for employment.
This service runs every Tuesdays and Thursdays between 11am to 2pm. We are able to donate fresh veg, fruit, bread and cakes etc that have been donated as 'end of day' produce.
