  1. Who are they? The local foodbank at Clay Cross is a church-based organisation that provides food to local people going hungry.

  2. What do they do? The foodbank stores donated food and distributes it to local people in crisis. It is a simple concept designed to help individuals and families by providing free emergency food for three days (10 balanced meals). Three days is the period assessed as the time it takes for the appropriate agencies to be in a position to assist.

  3. How does it work? Food is drawn as a result of referrals from registered Care Professionals such as Social Services, Health Visitors, Church Pastoral Workers, schools and others working in the front line of poverty. Vouchers redeemable at the foodbank allow clients to exchange their voucher for 3 days of tinned and dry food for their family.

  4. Helping the vulnerable in the community The foodbank will also support socially disadvantaged or vulnerable people by offering placements to work in the community on a number of levels.

  5. Since opening four months ago, Clay Cross foodbank has distributed 2.6 tonnes of food or 2800 meals to local people in crisis and stocks are at an all-time low.
