BS3 Community Foodbank

We are here to help those who find themselves vulnerable and in need during the pandemic.

Set up as part of the 'BS3 Community Covid-19 Mutual Aid' response, the foodbank supports individuals and families at this difficult time. We are all human, and we understand that any one of us could find ourselves struggling when we least expect it.

BS3 Community is an outlet of South and East Bristol Foodbank, which is a Trussell Trust Foodbank and part of inHope Bristol.

​

How to get help


The BS3 Community Foodbank operates on a referral-only basis. Please only come to the foodbank if you have a referral.
