Batley Food Bank
Food for people in Batley and the surrounding area, collection only unless arranged with referring organisations. Food parcels are available with a referral from an official agency. The food bank will contact the individual to discuss diet, health, cooking facilities, etc. so that the correct food parcel can be prepared. It can take up to 24 hours to process the request. Initially, the referral is for one week, but if more is needed, you can request recurring referrals. The food is packed with allergen labels to accommodate special dietary needs and allergies.
Every detail is confidential, and everything is packaged in supermarket bags.
