Leeds Food Aid Network

Our Impact Gallery

See how we're making a difference in the Leeds community through our food banks, community kitchens, and outreach programs.

Food Bank Volunteers
Food Bank Distribution

Food drop ins, also known as soup kitchens, provide a very substantial form of food aid provision in the city of Leeds. A significant proportion of the people they serve have experienced or are experiencing homelessness. Two of the main characteristics which drop ins have is that they are accessible without the need for a referral and often involve the serving of a meal or sandwich and/or soup.

Life Church

Life Church Love Leeds are all about providing a loving environment, food and clothing to some of the most vulnerable adults in Leeds. They exist to provide on-going support for adults who are homeless, living in poverty or who simply need a sense of belonging and friendship. They give out food and drinks at their weekly drop-in, where they offer a befriending service, a friendly social atmosphere and work with similar organisations to provide information and guidance to those who are in need.
