Thinking of doing a Christmas food collection for Leominster Food Bank? That would be brilliant!

Please get any Christmas treats to us by December 10th so we have time to give them out - tins of meat, vegetables and other food essentials are always welcome! Thankyou!

How to Get Help

Our sessions are 11am-12 noon on Tuesdays and Fridays.

There is currently building work going on around the building which is impacting our parking availability, so whilst it is possible to pick up food by car, please be extremely careful when driving to our premises. The car park can become gridlocked - particularly at the beginning of sessions. Alternative short stay free parking is available nearby, around The Grange (public park) or on Church Street.

Food parcels will be given if you have a referral voucher. You will need to come and collect your food or find someone to collect on your behalf.

How to Find Us.

Leominster Food Bank is at the Old Priory, Leominster HR6 8EQ - next door to the YHA Youth Hostel and behind Leominster Priory Church.

It is accessible by car or on foot. DRIVE VERY SLOWLY on approach to the Old Priory. Our car park is shared use and can often become gridlocked. Park off site if you are able to.

There are often people with very limited mobility outside the building..
