Christchurch Foodbank
An independent food bank.
You need a referral first. Ring them, or ask a support worker, health visitor or Citizens Advice to refer you.
Their website says: You need to be referred in order to use a Foodbank. This can usually be done by housing providers, social care agencies, local schools, churches and doctors surgeries.
Take this with you
You need a referral before they can help — do not set out without one.
