Llanelli Foodbank
Emergency food support delivered with dignity, care, and connection to wider help.
At Myrtle House, our mission is to provide practical, dignity-led support to people facing acute food crisis while working to reduce the need for emergency food over time.
Food insecurity is rarely just about food. It is often connected to financial pressure, wellbeing challenges, and wider life circumstances.
Through our Community Life Hub, we provide emergency food alongside practical support, guidance, and community connections that help people move towards greater stability and resilience.
Llanelli Foodbank operates in partnership with Trussell
How to get help from the food bank
The food bank works using a Voucher System
Step 1: Get in Touch
Contact the Foodbank by phone or email and we will listen and talk through your situation. We can help connect you with a local referral partner who can assess your needs and explore the right support options with you.
Step 2: Speak with a Referral Partner
To ensure support is appropriate and joined-up, we work with trusted local agencies and support organisations. If they identify that you are struggling to access food, they can issue a foodbank voucher and help connect you to further advice and longer-term support.
Step 3: Visit a Community Life Hub with Your Voucher
Bring your foodbank voucher to a Community Life Hub. Our team will welcome you with dignity and care and provide emergency food support. Where appropriate, we can also connect you to wider help — including money guidance, wellbeing support, and community services.
