The Trussel Trust Foodbanks

"We support a nationwide network of food banks and together we provide emergency food and support to people locked in poverty. Non-perishable, in-date food is donated by the public at a range of places, such as schools, churches, and businesses, as well as supermarket collection points. It is then sorted into emergency food parcels by more than 28,000 volunteers, to be given to people in crisis. Care professionals such as health visitors, staff at schools and social workers and charities identify people in crisis and issue them with a food bank voucher. This means people can receive a food bank parcel of three days’ nutritionally balanced, non-perishable food from their local food bank."
