Gateshead foodbank - Birtley

Helping local people in crisis by providing a food parcel.

Our aim is to provide emergency food to those in crisis. Working to tackle food poverty and hunger in local communities. Everyday people in the UK go hungry for reasons ranging from redundancy to receiving an unexpected bill on a low income. A simple food box makes a great difference and helps prevent crime, housing loss, family breakdown and mental health problems. 

Three food parcels in six months.
