Food assistance
Information for people experiencing food insecurity.
The team at Wellington Women’s House.
Kaibosh supplies food to 160 community partners in our region - charities and community groups who are supporting people in need.
Some of these groups can provide access to urgent food assistance.
Kaibosh is not able to provide food directly to individuals or households. We supply charities and community groups with food.
Our partners listed below offer urgent food assistance. We recommend that you phone or email ahead to check open days and times. You can also find information at the Foodbank directory website.
