About our foodbank
Southend Foodbank opened its doors on the 1st Nov 2013.
We are in our tenth year now and have fulfilled over 22,000 vouchers – which represents over 57,000 people (adults and children) that have received a 3-day food parcel.
Each voucher presented to us means a conversation, an opportunity to be listened to or to sign-post; it’s an opportunity to pray with someone and for them to maybe find a bigger community to be part of.
As of 2023, we are giving out 3.3 tonnes of food a week, as our guest numbers increase.
