What difference can a supermarket collection make?
So far this year we have had 1400 referrals and have helped 3100 people (1040 of those were children), that is a 64% increase on the same period for last year and a 188% increase from 2019 (pre covid).
All the food that goes out is donated, so far this year we have given out 23,251 tonnes of food and have collected 13.3 tonnes. All of our reserves are now depleted and we are in desperate need of donations.
Due to this massive spike in demand an emergency food collection at Tesco was organised for last weekend and we are so grateful for the response.
