Luton Food & Warm Havens A foodbank is for anyone in crisis, who does not have enough money to buy food for themselves or their family. When you use a food bank, you will be given enough food to feed yourself and your household for about three days.
Information on this page is about a wide range of support including housing, money, school costs, employment, mental health support etc.
