"We supply 7 days of food weekly to families, and vulnerable adults. Sadly numbers of people in need are increasing daily. We receive referrals from schools, social workers and other professionals. We are hearing of more and more of people who are having to choose between food and gas and electric. We hear of children and elderly having only one meal a day or parents going without food so that their children have food and its heartbreaking.

"The customers of Morrisons were brilliant and we received six trolleys of donationst, which helped us to support 292 people for a week."
