This page is intended to give some basic information about food banks in Lancashire.
We hope it will be useful if:
- you are struggling to provide food for yourself and your family
- you need to refer someone in need to one of the projects for assistance
- you would like to support one of the projects by donations of food, money or volunteering
The districts of Lancashire are grouped geographically and the links mostly lead you to the websites of local food banks. Please remember that almost every food bank requires a referral from the council, a church or a voluntary oraganisation before a food parcel can be given. They provide a limited service designed for emergencies only, but will often talk with service users to explore how they can best help get to the root of the problem and to signpost people to other useful services who will be able to help.
