Welcome

We are a community project working to serve the community and fight poverty.  

The Plymouth Foodbank is helping people who are in financial crisis by providing them with much needed food and also a listening ear and useful advice.  92 different agencies now have the ability to provide clients with Foodbank vouchers.

Clients receive a maximum of 3 vouchers.  Each foodbag contains enough tinned and dried food for a balanced diet for three days. 

See the News page for the latest news, events and testimonials.

Latest example of benefits system confusion:

3 years ago a man aged 39 gave up his flat to move back in with his ex-wife to help care for their disabled son. The Benefits office had said this was fine. Suddenly without warning his benefits have been stopped on the basis he is cohabiting even though the compliance officer noted the separate arrangements and said it was in effect two separate households and the housing benefit came to an end just before Christmas with no explanation.

Food Collections

The majority of the food is collected at major collections from customers at local supermarkets.  Volunteers assist for approx 1 hour and dates are usually advertised here and in the newsletter.
