Food poverty, Bed Poverty, Data poverty It's real in Stockport.
Local people are dealing with hunger every day. Too many families are worrying about their next meal because of circumstances beyond their control. The Coronavirus pandemic and cost of living challenges has only increased demand for food parcels and urgent support for things such as beds, data and household goods.
Local people need us now more than ever.
LOCATIONS
We have 3 foodbanks in some of the most deprived areas of Stockport.
We have been serving Stockport since 2013. We provide urgent practical support to local people. In the last 12 months, we issued 2960 food parcels and supported 4661 adults and 3992 children.
Everything we do is made possible by our team of wonderful volunteers. Without these amazing souls we truly could not function. There is a place for everybody to use their strengths and gifts here in the foodbank family.

Delivered
Chelwood Foodbank Plus is not part of a large chain of food banks which allows us to deliver our service in a truly holistic manner. We can help those that need us most without the confines of red tape and unrealistic administrative policies.
Unfortunately, this also means that we do not receive food from supermarket chains that have signed agreements with large national charities. We are totally reliant on the support of our community.
