About Tottenham Foodbank

Tottenham Foodbank is a grassroots food aid organisation supporting individuals and families who are at crisis point or trapped in a cycle of poverty. We provide emergency food parcels containing at least three days’ worth of nutritionally balanced meals and signpost people to local organisations that can support them in addressing the root causes that led them to require support from our foodbank. We also run an advice service in which we offer benefits advice, debt and money advice, and employment advice through 1 on 1 appointments.

As a member of the Trussell Trust Foodbank Network, we believe in the vision of a UK without the need for food banks so in addition to providing crisis relief, we are campaigning for a hunger-free future.
