Gorseinon Food Bank
Working together to see an end to food poverty, and supporting local families in crisis
Food Bank is here for anyone in need. All you need to do is get in touch.
At the Food Bank, we want to see an end to food poverty in our community! We long for a day when we are no longer needed, but we will be here to support families in crisis for as long as people are still struggling.
Food Bank is open to distribute food parcels to anyone in our community who is in need every Thursday between 10am & 12 Noon, but if you are in need then you shouldn’t hesitate to get in touch with us at any time and we will aim to offer all of the support that we can and as quickly as we can.
If you are in need of a food parcel, please contact the agency you are associated with (e.g, local school, social worker, health visitor) or contact the Parish Office directly on 01792 892849.
Donate Food.
Over 90% of the food distributed by foodbanks in The Trussell Trust network is donated by the public – that’s why your food donations are absolutely vital to our ability to give everyone referred to us a balanced and nutritious supply of food.
If you are happy to drop off food donations, you can do so at St Catherine’s (our opening hours are below), Asda, Sainsbury’s or Lloyds Bank in Gorseinon.

Volunteer.
If you have a few hours each week to spare, why not come along and become part of the Food Bank team, volunteering by greeting Food Bank users and supporting them, sorting, weighing or dating donations, putting together food parcels or delivering them, or helping to make teas & coffees.
Donate Money.
Big or small, every gift you give helps transform lives.
Our foodbank is run by local people for local people – we rely on the community’s support to ensure we can continue to stop people going hungry. Can you invest in the future of our project and help us provide much-needed support to people in crisis in our community?
