Supporting your journey from food insecurity to financial independence.
What we do
The Bridge Food Project is a food club from North Bristol & South Glos Foodbank. It operates on a low-cost membership basis where members get £4 worth of food for every £1 they spend.
While our main food bank provides limited emergency help, The Bridge acts as a longer-term stepping stone – helping you move from needing free food to being able to manage a regular supermarket shop.
