Southend Foodbank

Southend Foodbank was established in 2013 by a group of local churches to provide emergency food parcels and additional support services for people living in poverty in Southend.

They issue food parcels and additional items (such as toiletries) to people referred to by local professional agencies who have been identified as being in an emergency or crisis situation.

This includes families on low incomes, people in debt, people who are homeless or vulnerably housed and, most commonly, families who are experiencing delays in their benefits payments.

We are pleased to support their distribution centres across Southend, which give away in excess of 3,000 food parcels each year.
