If you are struggling to afford to eat, food banks or charities may be able to help. There are places that give free food or food vouchers to people who need it most in Newcastle.
What is a Food bank?
Food banks give emergency food parcels to people who are in crisis. They are usually run by volunteers. You will need to be referred to a Food Bank by an agency and given a food bank voucher. There are places in Newcastle where you can get a food parcel in an emergency. Emergency food parcels usually contain dried or tinned food that you can cook at home to make meals.
Foodbanks support both individuals and families who are struggling. They often offer other items such as: nappies, baby milk, period products, toiletries and pet food.
