Ashton Food Aid, founded in 2022 by Ruby Abram, is a volunteer-run initiative that provides free emergency food assistance to individuals and families in Preston. Our organization depends entirely on the support of local volunteers and donors to supply the growing need for emergency food assistance. Each week, we receive referrals from healthcare professionals, social workers, and other community organisations, who help identify individuals and families who may be struggling to make ends meet. In turn, we offer up to two food parcels a month per person, helping people access the help they need to get through difficult times.
