FOOD SUPPORT
We are happy to provide food for anyone who is facing hardship or struggling to feed themselves or their family. We do not require a formal referral, however we look at each request individually. Our food support is usually short term and we understand that some families may need support for longer. You will need to provide some contact details and a little bit about your circumstances. We always aim to help as much as we can. If you need help with food, you will need to come to our Tuesday drop-in between 9am and 12noon. No booking is necessary.
We can also offer further support at our Tuesday drop-in. This could be support with budgeting, signposting or just a cuppa and a friendly ear or prayer.
We would recommend using the Tuesday drop-in as the best option for food support, however in exceptional circumstances, you can send a private message via our Facebook Page, The Salvation Army Ripon UK and we will do our best to help.
