Foodbank is a free iPhone app developed by Redemption Media in the Utilities & Tools category. It aims to support the network of food banks across the UK by allowing users to select their local Foodbank and receive updates, shopping lists, and stories directly on their devices.

Users can choose their local Foodbank from a list and receive regular updates on needed items. The app also provides notifications for new updates from the Foodbank team and alerts users when specific food items are running low. Additionally, supporters can donate financially through JustGiving, with funds distributed to the selected Foodbank via 'Network Church Sheffield'.

Foodbank App not only serves as a platform for donations but also educates users on the challenges faced by many in the UK, with 1 in 5 people living below the poverty line. It explains how Foodbanks operate, from food donation to distribution, emphasizing the importance of community support in helping those in need.
