LOWESTOFT FOODBANKS and HELP FOR THE HOMELESS

There's one foodbank in the area, but they have several outlets  where you can get food. They usually operate a 'referral' scheme – a professional or established agency gives you a voucher of some kind which you take to the appropriate organisation. But Covid-times mean you need to check. 

HELPING LOCAL PEOPLE IN CRISIS - "We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK."
