About

“The foodbank was there when we really needed it, it was an absolute lifeline.”

The St Albans & District Foodbank operates nine centres across the district, providing three-day emergency food parcels and essential hygiene items for local people in crisis. Our mission is to end the need for food banks by helping people move beyond hardship. Through our Foodbank Plus model we offer on-site financial support with Citizens Advice St Albans and holistic support from our Wellbeing Coordinators, who provide emotional/practical help and make referrals to specialist services. Working with partners, we ensure support reaches those most in need while treating everyone with dignity and respect.
