Food Aid Referral enables those in genuine need to access our help.

Having an easy to use, online referral portal means that our referral agents can quickly and easily refer those in need to our service. The limits we can set prevent overuse and it frees our volunteers to give a warm welcome without the need to be gatekeepers.

We couldn't function in the same way without it.

In Fareham and Gosport, we continue to face an ever-growing demand for our service. Using the Food Aid Referral System, as we have done for nearly 10 years is core to our ability to manage unpredictable demand effectively. The system has seamlessly grown with us allowing our dedicated team to focus helping those who need it most rather than battling with paper based administrative tasks. We are now able to meet need as it arises, and the reporting mechanisms have been a great support in securing funding and for future planning. To my knowledge there is no other system so well focused on supporting the work of food banks

A secure and instant bridge between us and the frontline support agencies.

Using the online referral system has offered us numerous advantages, transforming the process from a manual, paper-based model to a more efficient, secure, and data-driven operation. It provides a secure and instant bridge between us and the frontline support agencies. Referral agencies no longer need to carry, store, or re-order paper forms, and food bank volunteers save a significant amount of time by not having to manually transcribe data from handwritten vouchers. With the built-in reports, we can generate reports and analysis, providing invaluable insights into the underlying causes of hunger in our community, helping us to better understand the needs of our clients.
