We operate under the auspices of The Redeemed Christian Church of God Majesty Connections and cover Basildon District to provide a minimum of three days emergency food and support to people experiencing crisis. We aim to help people in a crisis by providing food at a time of want, emotional support and signposting to other services as appropriate, thereby assisting the person or family deal with the situation they are in more effectively. People are referred to Basildon Foodbank by the agencies working with people in need such as the Social Workers, Health Visitors, GP’s, Schools, Citizen Advice Bureau, Library, Housing Association and many of the voluntary organisations working in Basildon. In 2018 we provided 3 days emergency food packs to over 1000 people.
