Foodbank
Thornbury Food Bank is based at Thornbury Baptist Church and welcomes donations of food or monetary funds to support those in need in the local area who are referred to us by various agencies. Due to the generosity of our donors both financially and of food, we are able to help those in need where other Foodbanks are unable to do so.
We use all donations to provide support for those who are eligible under the discretionary guidance of Thornbury Baptist Church.
We are open to clients coming in to Foodbank with a pre-arranged appointment between 1.30 and 3.30pm every Friday. We will, exceptionally, deliver to anyone who has a valid reason for not coming in to Foodbank.
Vouchers continue to be issued electronically by our Voucher Partners and sent to us here at the Baptist Church. Anyone needing a voucher can contact the organisations listed alongside this notice.
Vouchers also continue to be available from:
- Citizens Advice
- Local Schools
- Local Doctors surgeries
- New Start Debt Advice
- Health Visitors
- Midwives

Christmas Shopping List
We are not in need of any stock items due to the amazing amount of Harvest donations we have received – thank you to all who have supported us. This month we are asking for items to include in the extra Christmas parcels we make up for those who come to us for help during December. We are not asking for cakes, puddings or mince pies as these often contain alcohol which means we can’t give them out. We have decided to use some of the generous financial donations we’ve received to buy alcohol-free versions instead.

- Box/tin of biscuits
- Box/tin of chocolates
