What is Food Bank?
A food bank is a non-profit, charitable organization that distributes food to those who have difficulty purchasing enough to avoid hunger, usually through intermediaries like food pantries and soup kitchens.
Some food banks distribute food directly with their food pantries.

How can I claim from a food bank?
You can ask Citizens Advice to refer you to a food bank. They’ll usually make an appointment for you to discuss your situation with an adviser first.
The adviser will ask you some questions to check if you’re eligible for the food bank. If you’re eligible, they’ll give you a voucher for your nearest food bank.
