If you need help with food
If you need help with food we are here to help you, and there are two options you can pick from. A larder visit or a food bank visit. A food bank visit will generally have more items than a larder visit, but it requires you to get a referral from a referral agency.
You can contact the food bank team for further information at foodbank@the-gate-charity.org or call 01259 218 766
