Do I need a referral or voucher to use a food bank in Dorchester?
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.

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 Dorchester 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.
