A dignified, accessible support service for anyone in need.

HDCF Food Hub is a place where individuals and families can access essential food and items support during difficult times. Whether you're facing a short-term difficulty or ongoing hardship, we’re here to help.

Access is simple. You can be referred by your local council, councillor, school, GP, community organisation, or you can refer yourself directly. We believe support should be open, stigma-free, and delivered with compassion.
