Portland Foodbank supports people suffering food poverty on the Island. You do not need to be on any benefits and are very aware of the difficulties working people, families and everyone is under. We are based in St Johns Hall, Ventnor Road and rely on a small friendly team of Christian Volunteers. Our opening times are Tuesday and Friday 9.30-11.30. To use the foodbank you need a referral from someone able to support you out of food poverty.
