How foodbanks work

Providing emergency food to people in crisis.

Every day people in the UK go hungry for reasons ranging from redundancy to receiving an unexpected bill on a low income. A simple box of food makes a big difference, with foodbanks helping prevent crime, housing loss, family breakdown and mental health problems.

Food is donated

This is where you come in! Generous people across Bradford as individuals, schools, churches and businesses donate non-perishable, in-date food to us. You can donate food at The Hub, B&M Wyke or Adsa Wyke

Food is sorted and stored

Our team of 30 volunteers sort food to check that it’s in date and pack it into boxes ready to be given to people in need.

If you are interested in volunteering, we would love to hear from you!

Professionals identify people in need

Foodbanks partner with a wide range of care professionals such as doctors, health visitors, social workers and police to identify people in crisis and issue them with a foodbank e. voucher.

Clients receive food via delivery method

Food parcels will be delivered to everyone living in BD6 & BD12 areas (please make sure you are at home to receive your parcel as we will not leave food on your doorstep if no one is at home). Clients living in BD13 & BD19 will be contacted to arrange collection from The Hub
