About Harrogate District Foodbank 💙

Fighting Hunger, Changing Lives

At Harrogate District Foodbank, we believe that no one should have to face hunger in our community. Through the dedication of our volunteers and the generosity of our supporters, we provide emergency food parcels to individuals and families in crisis across the Harrogate area.

We are proud to be part of The Trussell Trust network, a nationwide movement committed to tackling hunger and poverty across the UK. Every food parcel we distribute is nutritionally balanced, designed to provide essential sustenance for at least three days.

How We Help 🤝

We work with a range of local organisations, charities, and support services to ensure that those in need can access the right help. People in crisis are referred to us by professionals such as doctors, social workers, and community support organisations who assess their situation and issue them with a foodbank voucher.

With this voucher, individuals can visit our foodbank, where they will receive:
✔️ Three days’ worth of emergency food 🥫🥖
✔️ A friendly and supportive environment 🤗
✔️ Signposting to further assistance and advice 🏡

How You Can Help 💛

Our foodbank relies on the generosity of local individuals, schools, churches, and businesses. There are many ways you can get involved:

• Donate food – Check our website for the most needed items. 📦
• Give financially – Every donation helps keep our service running. 💷
• Volunteer with us – Whether it’s sorting donations, distributing food, or offering a friendly face, your help is invaluable. 🙌
• Spread the word – Share our mission with friends, family, and colleagues. 📢
