Food and shopping - cost of living support

If you need support feeding yourself or your family, the following services and organisations might be able to help you.

Nobody should have to face going hungry. That's why Plymouth Foodbank can provide three days' nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. Plymouth Foodbank is part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.

Any one of us can experience a crisis resulting in the need for food support at any time.

The Plymouth Food Aid Network (PFAN) is a collaboration of food support providers, local growers, distributors, retailers and organisations all seeking to end food insecurity across the City. 

Plymouth Soup Kitchen provides food and hot drinks for the homeless and vulnerable every Sunday evening.

Plymouth Soup Run delivers food and hot drinks to the homeless and vulnerable at the following stops 7 days a week, 365 days of the year. 

In the wake of an incredible local response in Plymouth to food issues during the Coronavirus outbreak, Food Plymouth is continuing to facilitate the Plymouth Food Aid Network and are working with partners across the city to ensure even more support is in place as the cost of living crisis deepens.

We can offer emergency food parcels from our Food Hub.
