**Welcome to the UK’s First Ethnic Food Bank!**

At our Ethnic Food Bank, we believe in coming together to support everyone facing challenging circumstances. Our mission is to provide food assistance to those in need, and we can’t do it without the help of our wonderful community.

**How It Works:**
Clients must be referred by a recognised organisation or individual, which will generate a voucher code. This code can be exchanged for food items at our distribution center.

**Our Hours:**
We are open every Wednesday from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM.

**Get Involved:**
We rely on your support through food donations, volunteering, and financial contributions. Even if you can’t donate, sharing this page with your network helps us reach more people in need.

Thank you for being part of our mission to serve the community. Together, we can make a difference! 🧡
