HOW WE HAVE HELPED
“Sometimes I have nothing and if it wasn’t for the foodbank myself and my child would have no food to eat.”
“When I have no food I have to come and it has been a God send.”
“I am really struggling with buying nappies. The bank helps me buy a few more days”
“I am struggling on benefits. I am used to working and the benefit just doesn’t last.”
“Before I came to the foodbank I had to go out begging and prostitution to feed my family.”
“When I pay the rent, my money finishes and there is nothing for food, the Foodbank helps me.”
“The food I receive stretches. I receive 43.40 pw and by the time I pay bills it does not last. The bank has stopped me going without food. I do not have any family and therefore no support.”
“When I first came to the food bank I was on my knees I was in desperate need of food and was struggling from day today but as it progressed and me coming to the bank I have now found employment. I am now a volunteer at the Foodbank.”
