The Rotherham foodbank, is supported by the Trussell Trust and local churches and community organisations.  Its aim is to eliminate hunger in the local area.  It is manned by volunteers who sort and package food that is then distributed to those in need, identified by professionals such as doctors, health visitors, social workers and police.
