Pontefract & Knottingley Foodbank

A food bank in the Trussell network.

You need a referral first. Ring them, or ask a support worker, health visitor or Citizens Advice to refer you.

Their website says: A food voucher is required to get help from a food bank. Community organisations such as housing associations, GPs and advice charities can provide a referral for a food voucher, which is then exchanged for a food parcel at our foodbank.

You need a referral before they can help — do not set out without one.
