What is Food First Luton
Food First Luton is a local initiative to promote access to food and the support available in Luton to help those in need and provide a forum to share good practice and partnerships.
As growing numbers of people need support to feed themselves and their families, we want to make it easier to get help, sharing where you can find food suitable for you and your family.
