What is FoodBank
Crisis can hit any of us at any time whereby the money we expect to have doesn't turn up, or some other financial difficulty hits. This is particularly true for those who depend upon Benefits.
We therefore give basic food parcels to people in desperate need to tide them over the immediate crisis.
Some are homeless, and while we cannot continue to support indefinitely, we try to help with something, and to give a cup of tea or coffee while they are with us.
Opening times:
Monday and Thursday mornings from 10.30am - 12.00am
There is a Job Advisor every week from 11.30am until 1.00pm offering help with job seeking, CV writing, interview techniques, etc.
On the 3rd Thursday of each month a representative from Nuneaton & Bedworth Borough Council's Housing Department will also be available to help with advice and enquires.
