Get Help

If you have an urgent need for food, our foodbank uses a voucher system from referral partners. If you are not already in touch with a support agency who can refer to us, please call Citizens Advice Help Through Hardship (freephone) 0808 208 2138 who can discuss your situation with you and if a voucher can be raised for you. Alternatively, please email Wakefield's Council's Local Welfare Provision Team using the form on the Council's website.
Please note that Pontefract Foodbank helps people living in WF8 or Ackworth. If you live outside these areas, please contact you local foodbank.
