Since we began several years ago, the Manningtree and District Food Bank which is based in Foundry Court in Manningtree, has helped many individuals and families that have experienced various difficulties and just need a little help at a particular time. 

 

All it takes is a sudden, unexpected event - a bereavement, illness, redundancy and loss of a job, or unexpected large bill to push someone or a family into a real crisis. The Food Bank provides people with essential food supplies at a time when they need them most, to cover the days or sometimes weeks before other parts of the social care system start to work. Peabody is also available in Foundry Court to talk to you about any benefit, housing or financial questions or problems.

 

The Food Bank relies entirely on donations of food and money from local schools, churches, organisations and individuals. Every single item or penny helps to make a difference to someone. Our Food Bank is manned by volunteers from in and around the area.

Manningtree and District Foodbank is a private limited company registered at Companies House ref 8848738.
