Lay offs, illness, divorce, disaster or just the results of the economic downturn...hard times can fall on us all. But your neighbors at the Hereford Food Bank strive to provide a small safety net when you are in need.
The Hereford Food Bank provides the following free services for residents of the Hereford Zone*:
• A bag of groceries per family per week containing ingredients for at least 3 full days of meals including eggs and fresh vegetables (as available)[larger families get 2 or more bags].
• Detergent and hygiene items on a monthly basis or as needed.
• Rental or Mortgage assistance once per year for families facing eviction or foreclosure OR Financial Assistance once per year toward BGE Turn-Off Notices.
• Referrals to appropriate social services and government agencies.
There are no income limits or restrictions. If you need our services for a month or for a year, we are here for you. Our goal is to keep families together during hard times, feed them with food and hope, and show them compassion while maintaining their dignity.
*Proof of residency within the Hereford Zone is required.
