Welcome to MK Food Bank MK Food Bank is here to provide short term crisis support and care for families and individuals in Milton Keynes.

Last year the effects of Covid and the subsequent cost of living crisis led to increased demand for food support. In 2022, we gave out 26,000 food parcels and equivalents – 40% more than in 2021 and nearly double what we gave out in the whole of 2019. We estimate that we have supported around 1 in 30 households in Milton Keynes over the last 18 months. This represents one child in every class, at least one household in every street and possibly at least one in most workplaces. And every week about 50 people

For those experiencing longer term financial hardship, our network of top-up shops provides an alternative route to food parcels and aims to encourage and support independence on a step-by-step basis.
