How We Can Help

Where we work

If you are facing financial hardship or had a change in personal circumstance, then we are here to help you.

We work across Ashford, Maidstone, Swale and Thanet. If you live outside these areas please get in touch and we will try to assist you by signposting you to a local food bank. 

In the first instance, we suggest everyone applies to the Kent Support and Assistance Service (KSAS) as they may be able to offer further assistance. 

How we can help

We can supply short term food aid for up to a week. Families are required to collect a voucher from a professional and exchange this for the designated box.
​
In exceptional circumstances we can issue further boxes and support you for longer periods. In order to make these arrangements please get in touch.
