Ashbourne Foodbank is run and managed by Ashbourne Elim Church and a great group of volunteers.

If you require support from them, you are able to self-refer for a one-week emergency food parcel, please ring 01335 661237 to book your parcel. If you require more than just the one parcel, they ask that you seek a referral from any agency or professional that knows you. If you're not sure how to access a referral, they are more than happy to help you with that.

Over the past year Ashbourne Foodbank has given out over 100,000 meals to families and individuals in need in our local area. This was only made possible due to the generosity of local people and businesses. Please keep an eye on there facebook page for update information of what items are needed.

If you wish to donate food items, there are collection points at Ashbourne Elim Church, Sainsburys and both Co-Ops. If you would like to give financially to the work of the Foodbank, then please email them at foodbank@ashbourneelim.church.
