About Stichting Voedselbank Utrecht

The Utrecht Food Bank Foundation focuses on people in Utrecht who live on or around the social minimum and who are in financial need. Specific income requirements do apply to participate in the project. The Food Bank provides emergency aid in the form of free food. Social legal support is also provided. Every week, free food packages are distributed from various distribution points in Utrecht. The content of the packages differs per week, depending on the offer of the suppliers. The distribution points also serve as a meeting place and are run by volunteers from the neighborhood. Time and attention for the participants are central points in the approach of the volunteers. Volunteers serve coffee and tea, there is time and space for a chat. The packages must be collected in person within the opening hours of the relevant issue point. It is periodically tested whether the help is still necessary.
