Foodbank

Bracknell foodbank is part of a national network of foodbanks, giving out nutritionally balanced emergency food to people in crisis who have nowhere else to turn.
We also offer additional support to help break the cycle of poverty, putting people in touch with relevant agencies who can offer further support.

How the Foodbank works

Food is donated by the people of Bracknell (see the link to our food list).

Volunteers sort and pack the food into foodpacks. Each foodpack contains enough food for 3 days

We partner with front-line care professionals, who identify people in crisis and give them a voucher.

On taking their voucher to the foodbank centre, people receive a warm welcome, a hot drink and a foodpack

We also put people in touch with agencies who can help resolve the underlying causes of the crisis.

On occasion we will take food-packs to those people who are unable, through special circumstances, to access the food-centre during its opening hours:

Monday and Thursday 11am - 2pm.
