HOPE FOR FOOD – UPDATE!
Hope for Food continues to support the homeless
and families in need through very difficult times
June 2023
The current economic climate is making life challenging for both our clients and the charity itself. As well as an increasing demand for our help we are facing a serious fall in donations and continued high energy costs. Nevertheless Hope for Food continues to support those in need.
At our twice weekly Community Meals we are feeding on average 74 men and women and supplying them with warm clothing and other basic essential items, particularly vital as winter approaches and temperatures drop.
The number of families referred to us for help with weekly food parcels is steadily rising and for the first time ever has reached 170 in one week! We are also receiving more and more requests for children’s and adult’s clothing and other household items.
As always, everything the charity does is only possible because of the donations we receive from local businesses, churches, schools, families and individuals. The charity is run entirely by volunteers and receives no financial support from the Government or local authority. Times are hard for so many and we are grateful to all our donors, supporters and volunteers who enable us to support the vulnerable in our community.
