    NORTH NORFOLK FOODBANK 

    North Norfolk Foodbank is a franchise of the Trussell Trust. It collects, sorts and warehouses non-perishable food donated by churches, schools, community groups and the general public. Any person in crisis can access our food vouchers via our numerous partner agencies, who will assess the need and where appropriate give a voucher which can be exchanged for food at our distribution centres.
