ELLAND AND DISTRICT FOODBANK

On a weekly basis our clients receive food bags containing basic essential food items that provide 3 meals for 3 days. These food items are either donated to us by 7 local supermarkets, individuals, community groups, local businesses or are purchased using the grants and financial donations we receive. In addition we provide a bag of fresh produce and periodically toiletries and cat/dog food.
