We are here to help
The most important step is…making that first step!

Help Through Hardship will speak with you about your current situation to ensure you are aware of the support you can receive to help you out of your current crisis situation, you will be able to access this help via a range of agencies we work with and will upload you a food voucher to our system.
Knottingley foodbank works with a range of agencies and works in partnership to provide short- or long-term support to help address the issues behind the reasons for your crisis.

We can take your details and make an internal referral to Citizens Advice Bureau on your behalf
Your Food Parcel Voucher
We use an internal online system so your food voucher is uploaded by your referral agency which instantly comes through to us. We receive details regarding the number of adults and children in your household, allergies, dietary requirements, pet food required and any other items you may be needing so we can prepare your food parcel.
Collecting your parcel
We receive a donation from Lidl in Knottingley of fresh fruit and vegetables, bread and pastries. These normally arrive around 10.30am so please do bear this in mind when collecting your parcels!
The foodbank has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and our volunteers are always happy to help.
You can sit and have a cuppa and chat whilst your food parcel is being prepared or speak to our Citizens Advice Advisor who is onsite each week! Alternatively, if you don’t fancy a chat, we understand and will give you the space you need!
We fully understand this can be a daunting experience, but we are hear to help, we never judge, anyone can find themselves in a crisis at any time in their lives…. you really are not alone!
If you have any further questions our FAQ’s page may help, or feel free to give us a call.
