What The Wrexham Foodbank does:
Wrexham Foodbank supports individuals and families with food, toiletries, pet food, nappies and baby food. We also provide signposting and access to services such as debt and money advice.
Our 8 satellites, warehouse and delivery activities are all run by a committed team of volunteers, supported by a small staff team of 3. In the past year, we distributed more than 10,524 food parcels containing essential items, over double the amount from the previous year.
While it is welcoming that UK inflation is slowing, the continued increase of the cost of essentials, particularly food, continues to make it harder for families to make ends meet. Unfortunately, we’ve experienced a drop off in food donations at the very same time demand for food parcels for people in crisis is increasing.
Our long term vision is a Wrexham without the need for food banks but in the meantime, with your help, we will be there for those that need us.
What your money can do:
The holidays and winter can be a challenging time for everyone and we want to ensure that the Wrexham Foodbank will be there to meet the needs of the people of Wrexham.
Your donations can fund the following:
£18 would feed 1 adult for 3 days
£32 would feed 2 adults for 3 days
£60 would feed a family of 4 for three days
£78 would feed a family of 6 for three days
It’s the holiday season, please give what you can - every donation helps feed someone in need.
