The Wirral Foodbank is an independent Charitable Incorporated Organisation and part of the Trussell Trust network.  

 

Mission verse:

We draw our inspiration from these verses from the New Testament: 

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.” –  Matthew 25:35-36

 

Our vision:

To end hunger and poverty in the Wirral and beyond.

 

Our object:

To relieve persons in the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress by supplying food and in such other ways as the Trustees from time to time think fit.
