Ringwood Foodbank
If you need help from our foodbank there are a few simple steps to follow.
If you need help during these difficult times please get in touch with one of our agencies to get a referral to your local foodbank.
If they feel you are struggling to put food on the table, they will issue you with a foodbank voucher.
The local agency can also provide long term support if needed to help address some of the issues behind the reasons for your crisis.
Once you have been issued with a voucher, this will be exchanged for a minimum of three days of emergency food.
Vouchers can be obtained for residents of Fordingbridge, Alderholt and surrounding villages at the following locations:
