About the organisation

Warrington Foodbank is a charity primarily focussed on the relief of financial hardship amongst people in Warrington and the surrounding area. Particularly, but not exclusively through the provision of food, essential toiletries and household items to individuals and families in need.

We operate the largest crisis food operation within the borough, serving thousands of individuals and families each year who have no other option but to access emergency food supplies.

The charity also delivers an affordable food operation branded as our Little Shop pantries. Our food pantries offer access to high quality, affordable food, with the aim of preventing people from both reaching crisis point by providing more choices to quality food and household items, whilst also giving those who are experiencing crisis a viable, dignified alternative and opportunity to thrive instead of just survive.
