DEAL AREA EMERGENCY FOODBANK 

Deal Area Emergency Foodbank provides emergency food aid to individuals and families located in Deal and the surrounding villages including Aylsham. Donated food is taken to a warehouse for storage and stock control measures. Clients attend local distribution points to exchange a voucher issued by one of over 30 agencies and partner organisations for a 3 day emergency supply of food.
