Abingdon Foodbank is run by local churches and volunteers and aims to prevent hunger and support people in Abingdon who are in hardship or facing a crisis. We give a parcel of food (tinned, long-life and some fresh), and basic toiletries where needed, to sustain people who are referred to us for a few days. We can also refer them to Citizens Advice and other agencies for longer term support.
