Thornaby Food Bank
Social Inclusion
We want to provide food for people in need within our community.
About this cause
We provide food parcels to individuals and families who are unemployed, on benefits, or in difficult circumstances. After an initial food parcel we insist on a refferal from DWP, Citizens Advice, GP, Social Worker or Teacher who will have particular detail of circumstance. We do not provide food indefinitely but for 12 weeks. We also provide contact information for other agencies who may be able to help. We aim to support people through difficult circumstances.
How this cause brings people in the community together
This will help greatly to provide food, alleviating poverty and to prevent theft and money lending causing further social deprivation. Bring the vulnerable back into the community.
