COVID-19 Help with food

Need help with shopping?

Across Shropshire local volunteer groups have been set up to help people who are self-isolating. Find one in your area:

​

​

Some supermarkets are now taking payment over the phone so there is no need to give a volunteer cash to do shopping for you.

Can you get help from a food bank?

There are food banks across Shropshire who can help you if you are unable to afford food. Referrals can be made by a wide range of organisations.
