Welcome to Oxford CEF

CEF stands for Community Emergency Foodbank

Why do we need a Food Bank?

Despite our Welfare system in this country many thousands of people still go hungry through debt, sickness, sudden job loss, addiction, marriage breakdown, or simply delays in receiving benefit.

A number of similar projects which have started up in cities all over the country have been amazed to discover this well hidden poverty right in their midst.

In 2016 CEF fed 1483 adults and 868 kids, that's 2,351 people in total.
