The Olive Branch is Lancaster's food bank, but so much more. In 2024 we were visited by guests 3,685 times, we gave out in the region of 125,000 items of food, we have listened while people share their (often harrowing) situations, prayed with many guests, helped provide shoes for guests that had none, provided school uniform for primary school children, provided tents and sleeping bags for those living on the streets and have helped to provide clothes and a taxi for a job interview and a lap top for a 6th form student.

As an independent charity, The Olive Branch would not exist without the support of the local community, so your donations and sponsorship are what enables those in need to continue getting support. Thank you!
