Blackburn foodbank is part of the Trussell Trust national network of foodbanks, providing a minimum of 3 days worth of nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people in crisis in Blackburn.We collect non-perishable food which is donated by the public through churches, schools and supermarket collections. Front line care professionals e.g. social workers, doctors etc refer people to the foodbank with a voucher which is exchanged for 3 days worth of food. Over a chat, a meal and a drink we listen and signpost clients to other agencies for support.
