Foodbank feeds 550 for first time forcing food famine…

17th April 2023

We desperately need help, the demand on our Foodbank is soaring, this March we have had our busiest month since we opened our doors in 2013, feeding 550 people. The first quarter of 2023 has seen a 48% increase in people fed compared to 2022.

We have given out over 5 tonnes more food in the first three months of this year, than we have received in donations. Our warehouse reserve stocks are depleted and for the first time ever we are having to buy large quantities of items each week.

As a result of this we are embarking on a significant drive appealing for food and/or money donations to help us support people in our local community.

We are writing to ask whether you can please help us build up our stocks again by sharing this message far and wide, through colleagues, family, friends and organisations you are in touch with.

Thanks in advance for your help – we really do appreciate all your support.
