LEOMINSTER FOOD BANK

Leominster Food Bank operates from premises behind the Priory Church in Leominster. We offer food, and other essential items, to anyone experiencing food poverty, via referrals from other agencies, such as the Job Centre, Social Services, etc. We also offer a Food Share service of surplus items from shops and supermarkets. This is available to anyone - no referral needed.
