Otley Foodbank provides food packages for people in Otley and the LS21 area who are experiencing food poverty.
Referrals usually come from a trusted local agency or professional who knows your situation.
This might include:
- a school
- a GP surgery
- a local authority team
- a children’s centre
- a social worker or support worker
- a town councillor
- another recognised community, health or support professional
Once a referral is received, we aim to deliver the first food package within three days.
Support may be provided as a one-off food package or as deliveries for up to eight consecutive weeks. People can receive up to three periods of eight weeks within a rolling year.
Once a referral has been accepted, we will begin delivering on a weekly basis.
