Llanelli Foodbank

Who we are

Llanelli Foodbank is operated by Myrtle House and is more than just a place where people collect emergency food parcels—it’s a vital community lifeline offering hope, dignity, and practical support to individuals and families facing hardship. We are part of the Trussell network and work tirelessly to ensure that no one in our community goes hungry. Through our partnerships, volunteers, and wider support services, we not only provide food but also help people access the advice and assistance they need to move out of crisis.
