About

“The foodbank was there when we really needed it, it was an absolute lifeline.”

Run almost entirely by volunteers, St Austell foodbank doesn't think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK. The foodbank is an initiative of St Austell Light and Life Church - a church that is seeing God's love transform lives as we follow Him!
