How to find a foodbank near you
You’re not alone: find help with food when costs are rising
Rising food, energy and household costs are putting real pressure on many people’s budgets. If you’re finding things tighter than usual, you’re not alone and there is support available across Cornwall to help you and your household get through.
Across Cornwall, a wide range of organisations provide food help in different ways. These include:
- Food banks – emergency parcels
- Community larders and pantries – affordable food in a shop‑style setting
- Community cafés and meal projects – hot meals in a friendly space
- Advice services that can help maximise income and reduce costs
Some services offer crisis support, while others provide ongoing help to stretch your food budget further.
