The Foodbank exists to prevent or relieve poverty in Colchester and the surrounding area, in particular but not exclusively, by providing emergency food supplies to individuals with assessed short-term need and/or to charities or other organisations working towards the same aims.

COLCHESTER FOODBANK

We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days' nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. Over a third of those we help are children. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK
