About our foodbank

Broxbourne foodbank was set up in 2012 to help meet the needs of local people in crisis.  Local churches and community groups work together towards stopping hunger in our local area.

St James Church Goffs Oak helped us get started by allowing us to use a room at the church as a stock room, we soon out grew this small room and thanks to Broxbourne Council we were able to move into our present warehouse in the New River Trading Estate in 2014.

Broxbourne Foodbank is a registered charity.

We provide basic food parcels that give food for breakfasts, lunches and evening meal for 3-4 days. We also provide some fresh food – this depends upon donations from local supermarkets.

We also provide basic toiletries,household cleaning products and baby items.

In December 2015 we received a fantastic Christmas present – B3 Living gave us an electric van ! The van has made a tremendous difference to our ability to collect donations and transport food parcels to our distribution centres. Our second electric van was a private doantion,

Broxbourne Foodbank is run entirely by volunteers, whose dedication over the last 18 months has made sure that we have remained open.

Broxbourne Foodbank is a community run organisation for the local community.
