More people than ever are being driven to food banks and the sharp increase in people needing help is outstripping food donations.
Your donations are vital to ensure that we can continue to help the people in our community.
Since the cost of living crisis started we have found that our donation amounts have dropped drastically and now we have to buy between 20-40% of the food we give out each month. Your food or money donations are more important than ever in these difficult times.
