Surrey County Council – Everyday Essentials
Surrey County Council operates an Everyday Essentials E-voucher Scheme that eligible residents can apply for to help with everyday living costs. The Everyday Essentials E-voucher can be redeemed at a supermarket of the recipient’s choice to help with buying everyday essentials.

Venue: Communications House, Curtis Road, Dorking, RH4 1EA. Thursdays 2pm-4pm. (By appointment only)
To access the foodbank, you will require a foodbank voucher, which can be provided to you by various different organisations, such as Citizens Advice – health visitors, housing officers and more. If you require an emergency voucher please call the voucher hotline on 07471 753436, 10 am to 12 noon, Monday to Thursday or for all other enquiries or questions please call the general number: 07494226743, 10am to 4pm Monday to Thursday or fill out an online enquiry form.
Mid Surrey Community Fridges (MSCF)
MSCF hubs and mobile stops are open to anyone. Just turn up at the locations during the opening times and get a range of food. Please bring a bag with you and donations are welcomed to help keep the service going. Suggested donations are £2.50.
MSCF help prevent food going to landfill by redistributing it across Surrey so the food will vary according to what they receive.
