About

“The foodbank was there when we really needed it, it was an absolute lifeline.”

We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.

The Mission Statement of Pontefract Food Bank:
The prevention and relief of poverty in Pontefract and surrounding area particularly but not exclusively by providing emergency food and supplies to individuals and families in need and signposting people to appropriate agencies.
