What’s on offer at your Community Foodbank at Longridge?
A welcome and a brew
Our foodbank café is the heart of Longridge. Expect a safe, non-judgemental space where you can sit back with a fresh coffee, tea, or a hot toastie. Whether you want a quiet corner to decompress or a friendly chat with our volunteers, the kettle is always on.
Nutritious food parcels
If you are struggling to fill the cupboards, we are here to help. You can collect a thoughtfully prepared food bag designed to provide essential nourishment for you and your family. No fuss, just straightforward support when you need it most.
A helping hand to other services
Sometimes food is only part of the puzzle. We can provide a direct bridge to wrap-around care, connecting you with experts in housing, wellbeing, and financial advice.
Community connections
Our volunteers are locals who know Longridge inside out. If you need to know what’s happening in the area or where to find specific local groups, just ask. We’re here to help you reconnect with your community and find the information you need.

Restoring dignity, regaining control, and helping you move forward.
We are more than a foodbank; we are a safe, confidential space built on support and connection. Supported by Churches Together and the immense kindness of our local community, our team of 30+ volunteers is here to ensure no one in Longridge has to face a difficult time alone. Churches Together in Longridge and District (CTLD) is made up of St Paul’s & St Lawrence’s, Christ Church, Alston Lane Catholic Church, St. Wilfrid’s and Inglewhite Church. The Churches are all drop off stations for donations.
