In the charity's own words
We provide emergency food and support to local people in crisis. This is achieved through the public donating food either at Collection Points or Supermarket Collections. Food is then sorted and distributed to the Distribution Centres. Frontline care professionals give foodbank vouchers to people in crisis and these can be exchanged for three days worth of food at a foodbank Distribution Centre.
