Durham Christian Partnership

Foodbank

County Durham and Sunderland Foodbanks are here to help anyone who is facing hunger because of crisis – for the parents skipping meals so their children can eat, for the tenant forced to go hungry just so they can pay the rent, for the elderly person making the stark choice between heating and eating.

Pray

Prayer has a hugely important place in the life of DCP. Put simply, prayer is communicating with God - listening and talking to him. As a Christian organisation this is central to what we do, and how we do it! Read more

We believe that Christians, working together and with like-minded people, can make a difference to people’s lives

Sunderland Foodbank

We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food, support and advice to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.
