How to get a food bank voucher
If you need a food bank voucher, you will need to contact a food bank referral agency.
The agency will take some details from you to complete the voucher application.
They will be able to offer some practical advice and enable the food bank to prepare the right amount of emergency food, for the right number of people.
Once you have your voucher, you can exchange this for three days of emergency food at your nearest food bank.
