A FOODBANK distribution centre is opening in Wiveliscombe's Evangelical Congregational Church, in Silver Street.

People in need of emergency food supplies will be able to access the facility on Wednesdays from 2pm to 4pm from November 28.

They will need a voucher referral from a local agency.

The foodbank is being operated by Taunton Foodbank, which also has distribution centres in Langport and Wellington.
