Covid 19
All the information you need on how to get help and give help safely during COVID-19.
Getting help:
Our Bodmin, Camelford and Wadebridge foodbanks are open for the collection of food boxes only (no tea and cake sadly š¢). Foodbank vouchers will be issued electronically by your referrer, you can then collect your food box during our opening times. We have social distancing guidelines in place, meaning that volunteers will meet you at the door and ensure that you receive your food box safely. At this time, none of our foodbanks are operating a drop-in facility but please do ask our volunteers if you need any further help or support.
If you need food, you will need an e-voucher from a referral agency. To find out more about this process and who can refer you, click here.
Giving help:
If you wish to donate food, we have severalĀ supermarket collection boxesĀ in Wadebridge, Bodmin and Padstow. You can also leave food donations in the supermarket trolley outside Wadebridge Foodbank during opening hours (Monday-Thursday 10am-1pm) or drop your donations into Camelford or Bodmin foodbanks during their opening hours.
If you need access to the Foodbank to deliver a large donation, please telephone first. And thank you! We appreciate your support!
