Tiptree Food Bank

Tiptree Food Bank works in partnership with Colchester Food Bank and its network of local satellites and is part of the Trussell Trust Network. We are here to support residents of Tiptree and the surrounding villages who find themselves facing a financial crisis and are unable to afford food for their households. 

Clients are referred to us by agencies including Social Services, Citizens Advice, healthcare services and local schools. The food bank is staffed by a team of trained volunteers and is well supported by donations from local businesses, organisations and individuals. 

Tiptree Food Bank is  open for the collection of food parcels every Thursday from 2 pm to 4 pmat Tiptree United Reformed Church. We can arrange delivery to addresses in Tiptree and the surrounding villages when necessary. Food donations can be dropped off at Tiptree URC on Thursdays between 2pm and 4pm, at the Factory Shop when it is open and also at St Luke’s Church any time the doors are open. 

You can contact us on 07835 941646  or via our Facebook page. More information is on the website www.colchester.foodbank.org.uk . Requests for items we particularly need are posted on our Facebook page.
