If you need foodbank support over Christmas and New Year, please visit Sunderland City Councils Website for details of locations and opening times (click on the area of the city where you live). You will need to ring Sunderland City Council Customer Service Network and ask for a voucher code to use at Sunderland Foodbank. They can also advise you if you are struggling with energy costs.
