Shop & Drop Bespoke Support for UK Food Banks

COLLECTIVE ACTION AGAINST FOOD POVERTY

We are fighting to eliminate the shortfalls in food bank essentials

In 2010, Trussell had 35 food banks in the UK.

In 2025, it had 1,711 food banks.

The total number of food banks in the UK today, including those independently run, is:
2,500+ food banks, that's more than McDonalds outlets.
