What we do


44,000

meals provided in 2022.

The food parcels we provide to people referred to our foodbank contain three days' worth of nutrtionally-balanced food.


2012

the year our foodbank opened.

The doors to Widnes Foodbank first opened in December 2012, and our foodbank centre was originally based at The Foundry on Lugsdale Road.


200+

volunteers at Widnes Foodbank.

Our volunteers help us do what we do - listening to people in need, making food parcels, transporting food and much much more.


15+

collection points around town.

Collection points in the community allow for people to drop off their donations of food for our foodbank - and we're incredibly grateful.
