The Food Centre
At some point in our lives we may all face difficulty, but no one should feel alone, ashamed or judged. The Food Centre is here to give you some lovely food that will feed you and your families. We also have great relationships with other support networks that we can link you up with if you would like.
We run the Food Centre in two different formats: a Food Bank on Mondays and a Food Pantry on Thursdays. We also have a sister Food Hub at Hope City, Weston.
