Low-cost food

We keep our prices as low as possible to help individuals and families manage

Wide choice

With regular offers we stock everything from treats to basics like fresh vegetables. We aim to supply you with a range of cupboard, fresh and frozen groceries.

NBIL FOOD BANK

Filling the gap foodbank is a delivery service created in March 2020 in response to the Worldwide pandemic. Through the years we have identified a need amongst those who are disabled and or vulnerable who can not access a walk in foodbank.

To access our foodbank a professional referral is required.

Deliveries are made across Liverpool every Wednesday and Friday.

SUPPORT OUR WORK

As a small grassroots community group our time is spent out in the community helping those who need it. When we do get round to applying for funding we tend to lose out to the bigger organisations with the well known names. Our groups see a high number of participants but we struggle to get funding. What we don't fall short of is... great community spirit and practical support.
