SUPPORT WITH ACCESSING FOOD
Food banks are community organisations that can help if you can’t afford the food you need. You’ll usually need to get a referral to a food bank before you can use it. This includes all food banks run by the Trussell Trust.
If you are struggling to buy enough food, you can collect a halal food parcel from the foodbank at Leeds Grand Mosque in LS6 every Sunday between 10:30am-12:30pm. You can email loveinabox@leedsgrandmosque.com or call 07734391088 for a confidential chat.
Resurrected Bites is a Harrogate- and Knaresborough-based community organisation aiming to reduce food waste and food poverty. They run two give-as-you-can cafes that are open to anyone who needs them, as well as a community groceries scheme which is solely for people in food poverty.
