York foodbank
York Foodbank is run by the Trussell Trust. Trussell Trust and York Foodbank are Christian charities. The Belfrey is partnering with York Foodbank, acting as a Foodbank Distribution Point on Saturday mornings from our basement rooms in the De Grey Rooms.
We have a collection point at the bottom of the main stairs, which is emptied each week by the Foodbank team.
Helena Mellows is our Foodbank Coordinator and if you’d like to know more or would like to volunteer on Saturday mornings, please contact her at helena.mellows@belfrey.org
