Foodbank at Manor House, Wellspring Church Leicester

At Manor House Foodbank we believe that no one in our community should go hungry. We work hard to relieve some of the symptoms of food poverty in the local area through the provision of food parcels.

Manor House Foodbank and CAP Debt Centre

The Manor House Foodbank is run by Wellspring Church Leicester and receives support from other churches and businesses in the local area. This support is crucial in enabling us to provide support to families and individuals who need it.

We appreciate that the causes of food poverty extend into other aspects of life. Therefore, we try, wherever possible, to provide toiletries and other consumable household items. We also work hard to signpost to other agencies that provide support in the city and beyond. This includes a close working relationship with the Christians Against Poverty (CAP) debt centre that is based at the centre.

You can find more information about how to use the services our foodbank provides as well as how you can support us below.
