At some point in our lives we may all face difficulty, but no one should feel alone, ashamed or judged. The Food Centre is here to give you some lovely food that will feed you and your families. We also have great relationships with other support networks that we can link you up with if you would like.

We run the Food Centre in two different formats, on Mondays - a Food Bank and on Thursdays a Food Pantry. We also have a sister Food Hub at Hope City, Weston.
You can call or text the team directly  07543925959 (Hedge End) or 07586153409 (Weston) the phone might not always be answered but you can leave a message or a text and they will get back to you as soon as possible.
