Southend Foodbank is a part of The Trussell Trust network of food banks, working to tackle the causes of hunger in our local communities, as well as across the UK. Southend Foodbank opened its doors on the 1st Nov 2013. In our first 10 years we have fulfilled over 22,000 referral vouchers – which represents over 57,000 3-day emergency parcels. Each voucher presented to us means a conversation, an opportunity to be listened to, or to signpost; it’s an opportunity to pray with someone and for them to maybe find a bigger community to be part of.
