Food Bank

For Nottingham's families most in need, we offer a free food provision service, currently standing as the city's largest independant Food Bank. During a time when we're experiencing the biggest squeeze on income in a generation, we are providing weekly parcels comprising a balanced diet, aiming to eliminate the worry of rising supermarket costs.
