A self-referral is accepted for an initial food parcel. Thereafter, a referral from an approved agency is needed - see Mrs Gerrard can support with this.
We are now offering Mondays from 5pm-7pm at Bridport Youth and Community Centre, Gundry Lane.
Community Fridges
Community fridges act exactly as the name suggests. They are fridges in the public domain, with food often nearing its end date that are donated to the local community. The food is given by households, or supermarkets, restaurants and shops. Community fridges are a novel idea and are a step away from the red tape involved in food banks. To secure food from food banks, you need to be referred to the service. Community fridges are open to anyone.
