If you are unable to buy food, then food aid is available from the Foodbank.
You will first need to get a referral by telephoning someone who can do this for you. See How? in the next column about who to contact.
If you cannot get out to collect your food then please mention this to the person making your referral for you and they will make the arrangements for food to be delivered if this is at all possible.
If you have no food and cannot make contact with a referrer, please call our office.
