We are a Foodbank covering Todmorden, Hebden Bridge and surrounding areas.
We aim to relieve poverty by providing a 3 day food parcel for people who cannot afford to buy food whatever the reason. We collect donations of food, money, toiletries and other basics including clothing and bedding when available. The Drop In is a safe space for people to meet and seek support. We give out free hot food and drink when we are open. We gather information from the Food Drop In to highlight and campaign against poverty and deprivation.
Why the community needs usWe are open every Saturday from 9.30am to noon. We see on average 95 people, including families with children, each week. There are always new people coming to us for help. Since opening in June 2013 we have given out over 12,000 food parcels and seen over 500 people.
