Summer Food Appeal

Since opening our foodbank, we have noticed a surge in the support needed over the summer holiday period. For the last two years, we have had to purchase additional stock to meet demand. This year, we piloted a summer food appeal to help boost supplies before the holidays start.

Four schools and a local charity took part in the appeal and collected 262.4 Kg of food and toiletries. Thank you.

This appeal is now closed.

 

 Will you support our foodbank with a donation of food during June/July to help support local families over the summer holidays?
