Thank you

Your continuing loyal support for the Bridport Food Bank is very much appreciated, as the need for our service within the Bridport community has continued to rise over 2024. 

The photograph of a group of our volunteers with some of the goods we distribute weekly gives an insight into what we are able to provide with your help. 

Although the level, of the supermarket donations into our boxes has fallen, so many people are feeling the financial ‘pinch’, this is still a vital part of our supply chain, as are the donations of toiletries and food items from local businesses such as the Welman Pharmacy, and Washingpool Farm shop, individuals and local Churches. 

Your generosity makes our work as volunteers a pleasure.

About Bridport Food Bank

Bridport Food Bank provides support for anyone in the Bridport area who finds themselves in need of food, household supplies, clothing, advice and support or just a cup of tea and a chat. 

The Food Bank is open on Monday evenings from 5 - 7pm at Bridport Youth and Community Centre, Gundry Lane, and Wednesday mornings at St Mary's Church, South St, Bridport from 11am -1pm. 

Anyone can pop into BYCC or St Mary's and pick up an emergency food parcel. Emergency parcels will always be provided on the day, but a referral will be required for ongoing support. Citizen's Advice are always on hand on Wednesday morning to provide referrals and advice then and there.

We work closely with other related organisations in the town, including, The Citizens Advice Bureau, The Beacon Centre, Mental Health agencies and the wider NHS, Housing and Homeless support agencies and Child and Family support services.

Bridport Hardship Fund

In 2023, thanks to a generous personal donation, a Hardship Fund was set up to offer a wider range of support to households in financial hardship and to offer additional support to the homeless.

Access to this Fund is jointly managed by the Bridport Foodbank and the Citizen’s Advice Bureau.
