    Vouchers for food can be obtained from specified agencies such as doctors' surgeries, schools, churches, social services, Citizens' Advice Bureaux and Jobcentres, which are advised to identify people in 'crisis' who cannot afford food. There is no set criteria for who is eligible to receive the vouchers.

    It is different for each area. If you're on benefits, speak to your local Jobcentre, they should know. If not, contact your local council.
