With the ongoing cost of living crisis, more and more people and families are having to turn to food banks to get help.
A food bank is a non-profit organisation that distributes food to those who do not have the money to acquire the basic essentials. These are usually ticketed systems whereby people sign up to get the help they need.
Food banks offer basic pantry items as well as toiletries and other necessities. Across Leeds, there are several banks helping people during this difficult period. The two main sites are the Leeds North and West and Leeds East and South foodbanks.
