Our foodbank works using a voucher referral system. Find out more about how we work.
If you need food and are unable to afford it, and live in the Helston & The Lizard area, then we can issue food upon presentation of a foodbank voucher from one of our voucher referral agencies.
Our voucher referral agencies include the ‘Help Through Hardship’ helpline, Citizens Advice, Christians Against Poverty, church ministers, local GP health centres, health visitors, schools, social services, housing agencies, and other equivalent professions.
Please contact the agency most relevant to support you.
If you require further information or assistance please contact us during our foodbank opening times.
