Today there are families struggling to put food on the table. For people on low incomes a sudden crisis illness, benefit delay or an unexpected bill can push their finances over the edge, meaning there is nothing left to pay for groceries. Cupboards are bare and people are going hungry in our neighbourhoods today. We cant sit by and let that happen.

South-West Belfast Foodbank is here to help anyone who is facing hunger because of a crisis - for the parents skipping meals so their children can eat, for the tenant forced to go hungry just to pay the rent, for the elderly person making the stark choice between heating or eating. Through the help of a great team of volunteers we deliver food to those in need, as well as meeting people in person who can pick up their food packages at the foodbank.

We are part of The Trussell Trusts UK-wide network of foodbanks. We are part of the movement to help the many people affected by poverty and hunger in our society. We provide three days emergency food and practical support to help people cope in a crisis, as well as give advice and signpost to other services in the area to help people recover, rebuild their lives and break the cycle of poverty.
