Liskeard and Looe Foodbank
How do we help?
Liskeard and Looe Foodbank is part of a national network of foodbanks, giving out nutritionally balanced emergency food to people in crisis.
12.4 million people in the UK live below the poverty line.
When you have no financial safety net, a sudden crisis, such as bereavement, benefit delay, redundancy or illness, can leave you unable to feed yourself or your family.
Such situations can quickly deteriorate, leading to relationship breakdown, house repossession or worse. Liskeard and Looe Foodbank works to support people who find themselves on the edge of disaster.
