Wondering how our #foodbank works? We partner with local organisations who give vouchers to people who don't have enough money for essentials, so we can connect people with longer-term support & gather info about what needs to change so everyone has enough money in the future.

Lent is a time people think about what they are giving up. But it's also about giving, the small things: a prayer, a share or a smile. Can you help us this Lent? Share our social posts, pray for us or if you can take a look at our shopping list & donate

It’s not okay that any of us in Widnes need emergency food. That’s why we’re building a future where everyone has enough money. But while we do that, we need your help to continue providing support to anyone who needs it – please donate today bit.ly/3iB6Luy
Thank you!
Our volunteers do so much behind the scenes at the #foodbank to provide emergency support & build a future where everyone has enough money – from collecting & sorting donations, to giving parcels out & logging with the reasons why people need help, they do so much.

Hunger in Widnes isn’t about food – it’s about local people not having enough money. This isn’t right. None of us should need a charity to put food on the table. We can reach a future where everyone has enough money for essentials – here’s how >
