Southport Foodbank approaching crisis point
Our loyal supporters continue to donate food to us and for this we are and remain so very grateful BUT need this year is running at 50% above the level experienced in 2016.
It does not take an Einstein to work out that this causes our stocks to deplete and they are now very low or non-existent for many of the staples we provide to local families in need.
Can you help?
Maybe if you are working you could organise a local collection at your workplace or, if at home, a coffee morning. Food donations are more than welcome, and especially at this time
Tinned fruit
Tinned rice pudding
Tinned vegetables
Pasta sauce
Fish
– but a cash donation can be put to good use to buy food lines we are short of.
All our clients are assessed for need and referred to us by professionals. Where we can we try and tackle the cause of their crises by referring them to other specialist agencies or by helping them to claim benefits to which they are entitled, or to manage the debt that may have built up before they swallowed their pride and came to us for help.
For more information please contact us. Our telephone number is 01704 544419 or email foodbank@lakesidecc.org.uk
PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN
