Hello

Dorchester’s Foodbank was set up in October 2009 to help those living in the DT1 and DT2 postcode areas who are struggling financially and who are unable to feed themselves or their family.

Each of our food parcels contains enough non-perishable tinned and dried food to provide sufficient nutrition for individuals and families for at least three days of healthy, balanced meals. A wide range of personal hygiene and household products are also available.

Foodbank works closely with professionals such as social workers, health visitors, schools and Citizens Advice so that anyone in crisis, who has no food or money to buy food, can be issued with a Foodbank e-voucher. This can then be exchanged for a food parcel.
