Welcome to Oxford Community Emergency Foodbank.

We are an independent charity that aims to help people in Oxford or the surrounding area who are suffering from financial hardship and finding it difficult to provide food for themselves, their family or dependants. We are here to help through the provision of food at our three local cafes around the city.

Food is donated in shops, churches and other locations, including direct to our warehouse and is distributed at three CEF Cafés.
