Brighton Food Bank is an independent Christian food bank that has been serving the community of Brighton and Hove since 2000. For over two decades, we’ve stood as a lifeline for those facing food poverty, not through government support, but through the unwavering generosity of individuals, churches, schools, and businesses.

While some of our funding comes from grant-making bodies and generous supermarket partners, the heart of our operation beats thanks to the kindness of people like you. We are especially grateful to the many churches and schools that hold annual Harvest and Christmas appeals. Your support fuels us during our busiest seasons and beyond.

Every week, we welcome individuals and families referred to us by more than 70 organisations across the city. They come to us in crisis without enough money to buy food or the most basic of essentials. We offer more than just a food parcel; we provide dignity, choice, and compassion.

We take pride in the quality and variety of the food we distribute. From dietary requirements to cultural preferences, we do our best to offer our clients not only what they need, but what they enjoy. That’s why we always encourage the public: donate what you love to eat, because everyone deserves the comfort of a favourite meal.

But food is just the beginning. The people we serve often face complex challenges, and we listen, really listen. Over time, trust is built, and we’re able to connect them with partners like Christians Against Poverty for debt advice or Money Advice Plus for benefits support. Our aim isn’t just to meet an immediate need, it’s to help our clients move forward, so they no longer need us at all.

We’re here. Every day. And with your help, we’ll continue to be, until hunger no longer has a place in our city.
