The Forest Food Bank is OPEN, we are here for YOU
We will feed anyone who needs us no matter who you are, or what walk of life you come from. It doesn’t matter if you are a single person, a couple or a family, we are here for you.
Until we have an end in sight for the need for our service to our community, we have to work closely with the agencies in The Forest of Dean to help with your immediate crisis, but also help you to access a more long term solution.
To access a food parcel you need to be referred by an approved agency. There are a number of agencies we work with but you can also check with your child(s) school or your local church, they will be more than happy to refer you if you need help with food. Some of our agencies require you to be registered with them to access an e-referral.
To access agencies who can refer you to The Forest Foodbank go to our website click on the ‘Get Help’ button, go to vouchers (https://theforest.foodbank.org.uk/get-help/how-to-get-help/). Call any of these agencies and they will do an e-referral for you.
- Check the list of agencies on our Facebook page or website. Each agency as an area of expertise please approach the one who fits your crisis.
- Contact the agency for an e-referral and they will sign post you to help with your particular needs. If you need toiletries or dog/cat food please ask them to add.
- E-referral is placed and delivery to you is arranged.
