With unprecedented demand our foodbank provides necessary foods and essentials to those in need from across our Borough. From older residents, to those working, as well as families we do our best to ensure everyone that needs helps get's a package full of basic produce to help them get by. Working with our partners, Peabody we can also sign-post people that need help to claim additional benefits and or budgeting advice.
Each month we see roughly 50 new applications for help, and we give away close to 200 parcels a month. We have found that on general people will use our service for 2 to 3 months before they have worked out a way forward.
