The Hartlepool Low/No Cost Food Guide is here to help ensure that anyone who needs it has access to low cost/free affordable food. The leaflet is produced by the Hartlepool Food Partnership and collects together the organisations that offer low and no cost food provision across the town. The leaflet is updated every few months and is widely distributed.
If you are a low or no cost food organisation in the town, and would like to be included, please let us know at info@hartlepoolfoodpartnership.co.uk.
Please scroll down to find the leaflet, a map of the locations, a day-to-day guide to Low and No Cost Food options in Hartlepool and links to where to find out about low and no cost food options elsewhere in the Tees Valley.
The Low/no cost food leaflet has been developed to show places where accessible food is available in Hartlepool. Discover all about this on the leaflet, as well as the interactive map linked below.
