Providing food packs & fresh produce vouchers to people in urgent need

ABOUT US

WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO

 

Petersfield food bank is an independent charity run with the support of PACT (Petersfield Area Churches Together) 

 

We provide food packs with tinned and packaged foods and make them available to people in urgent need. We also have a voucher scheme so that we can offer fresh fruit, vegetables, bread, eggs and cheese. Please click here for details on how to receive a food pack.

 

In 2025 we issued 1139 packs helping 1620 adults and 1105 children.

In 2024 we issued 1513 packs helping 2323 adults and 1442 children.

In 2023 we issued 1517 packs helping 2336 adults  and 1416 children.

 

Thanks to Nicola Winter at HomeStart Butser for these kind words about Petersfield food bank:

'I think for some families there is a reticence about asking for food and to be met with such kindness and lack of judgement has a very positive impact.  So thank you from all of us for all the wonderful work you are doing for our families and the whole community, we are very lucky 😊'

 

We have received a grant from DWP Household Support Fund
