Complete the form and email it to referrals@eatorheat.org
You can refer a client up to three times in a six month period. Each referral allows the client to collect on four consecutive weeks. On the fourth week, we will inform the client that they need a new referral. We are very busy so it can take up to four working days to process a referral.
Each collection will provide the client with three days of emergency food aid.
PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR CLIENT DIRECTLY TO US WITH THE REFERRAL.
We will text the client once we have processed the referral, letting them know when and where to come to collect.
THE CLIENT SHOULD NOT ATTEND THE FOOD BANK UNTIL THEY HAVE RECEIVED A TEXT FROM US
If you have any questions, including if you are eligible to refer, please call us on : 0800 772 0212
