Over 3.1 million emergency food parcels were distributed by food banks in the Trussell Trust network in the past 12 months — the most parcels distributed by the network in a year, almost double the previous year! 😢 #foodbanks #endfoodpoverty

No one should have to turn to a food bank just to survive.
📈 Yet, food banks in our network provided over 3.1 MILLION emergency food parcels last year.
And Foyle Network Foundation (Foyle Foodbank), West Lothian Foodbank, Newcastlestaffs Foodbank and Birmingham Central Foodbank shared how many food parcels they provided. ⤵️
“It’s heartbreaking,” Helen adds. “Our #foodbanks are now saying: ‘We really are on our knees and we’re at breaking point.’ What I find scary is there is real potential for it to get worse in the coming year.”
