Giving at Skipton Morrisons
As well as hosting a donation point for us Morrisons Skipton has vouchers available to purchase at the till for £1, £3 or £5 (they can usually be found next to the flowers). Morrisons then tops these up by 10% and we get monthly vouchers sent to us to spend in store. This is so helpful to enable us to buy some fresh food and replenish our shleves with the items we need to give out complete parcels.

How we work: The Food Bank supplies emergency food parcels to people who are struggling to feed themselves or their families. We work with local support agencies who refer people to us who are in need of food support. We ask people to be referred each time they need a parcel. We supply food parcels to single people and families of mainly non perishable food. We often will also add in fresh fruit and veg and eggs when it is available. With the organisations that we work with we also listen to try and find the reason for the crisis and point people in the direction of other help and support so people do not rely on us for the long term. We have a paid citizens advice worker in all our sessions to offer on the spot advice and support with benefits, bills, housing etc....
