How to get help
You will need a Foodbank Voucher before your visit
Before you visit the Foodbank you need a Foodbank voucher. We work with over 160 local agencies who can offer foodbank vouchers, as well as advice, support, and guidance.
- If you are already in contact with front line services such as social workers, health visitors, or other support workers, please request a foodbank voucher from them.
- If you are living in social housing, your housing or neighbourhood officer can issue a foodbank voucher. Here are some links which may help;

Across Salford there are a range of Food Clubs and Pantries – these are often run by local community groups where food is laid out like a shop. Visitors pay a small amount and choose their own items, click the link for more details Food Clubs in Salford – July’24
