Food banks in Kent: your questions answered
How do I find a food bank in Kent?
Use the list of Kent food banks on this page. Each listing shows the address, contact details and, where we hold them, opening times. Always contact a food bank before travelling, as sessions and locations can change at short notice.
Do I need a referral or voucher to use a food bank in Kent?
Many UK food banks, including those in the Trussell network, ask for a voucher or referral from a local agency such as Citizens Advice, a support worker, GP surgery, school or housing officer. Independent food banks, pantries and community larders often accept people directly. Contact the food bank listed here to check what it needs.
What do food banks in Kent give you?
A typical food parcel contains several days of non-perishable food such as tinned goods, pasta, rice, cereal and long-life milk. Some services also provide toiletries, baby items, pet food, fresh produce or help with money and benefits advice.
Are food banks in Kent free?
Food banks are free to use. Some community pantries and social supermarkets instead ask for a small weekly membership fee in return for a larger shop, so check the details of the service you plan to visit.
How can I donate food or volunteer in Kent?
Contact any food bank listed on this page directly. Most welcome donations of in-date, non-perishable food at their own premises or at collection points in local supermarkets, and many need volunteers to sort, pack and deliver parcels.
Is the information for Kent food banks up to date?
We review listings regularly, but details can change between checks. Please confirm opening times with the food bank before you travel, and let us know through our report a listing issue page if something is wrong.
