LITTLEHAMPTON FOODBANK 

We are working towards the alleviation and prevention of poverty in Littlehampton and surrounding areas. We aim to do this in particular (but not exclusively) by providing emergency food supplies to people in need, as well as to charities or other organisations who are working towards these goals within our local community.
