Petersfield food bank is an independent charity run with the support of PACT (Petersfield Area Churches Together) 

 

We provide food packs with tinned and packaged foods and make them available to people in urgent need. We also have a voucher scheme so that we can offer fresh fruit, vegetables, bread, eggs and cheese. Please click here for details on how to receive a food pack.

Thanks to Nicola Winter at HomeStart Butser for these kind words about Petersfield food bank:

'I think for some families there is a reticence about asking for food and to be met with such kindness and lack of judgement has a very positive impact.  So thank you from all of us for all the wonderful work you are doing for our families and the whole community, we are very lucky 😊'
