Open every weekday between 10am and 12noon for people to collect or donate food.
Unfortunately, we no longer stock school uniforms due to a lack of storage space. Many schools have a stock of pre-loved uniforms as does Awesome Wales at 83, Holton Road, Barry.

I need help
We know that anyone can reach crisis point and we’re here to help.
If you need help from our foodbank there are a few simple steps to follow.
You can call into Arcot House any weekday morning between 10 and 12 where you will be welcomed by our friendly volunteers who will discuss what you need and prepare your food parcel.
You will be asked for your name, postcode and details of how many people are in your household. We normally give enough food for 3 days but understand that peoples circumstances, tastes and facilities are wide ranging and so we try to be as flexible as possible.
As well as a wide range of non perishable foods we try to keep a stock of toiletries, cleaning materials and nappies.
Alongside food we also provide practical guidance and our volunteers will take the time to listen to your story to see how else we can help you. They have details of a range of local services and can help you to access to the right support, enabling you to break out of crisis. Finally as followers of Jesus we believe that prayer can change lives and circumstances, and so as well as praying regularly for you we would love to pray with you about anything that is on your heart.
I want to help
Our food bank receives donations of food from all the local churches in our area, given by members of the congregation. In addition, we are given monetary donations, all of which is used to buy items of food, supplementing what has been donated.
Donations can also be left in the collection bin at Sainsbury’s on Windsor Road or brought in person to Arcot House any weekday morning between 10-12
If you run a shop or wholesale and would like to make a larger donation, or arrange collection, please contact us on 07761 889120 or foodbank@tabspenarth.org.uk.

About the Penarth Food Bank
We set up this foodbank in 2008.
Jesus taught we should feed the hungry, and love our neighbours. As a church, we’ve always given to charity and supported overseas work, but in 2008 it seemed like there might be a need in our community for a foodbank – and we started this project as a way to help care for our neighbours.
Since then many other churches and organisations have joined in supporting this great work. And so many wonderful Penarth locals have donated so much food over these years.
