Story
The past two years have been like no other. We've seen unprecedented demand at foodbank, going from supporting 150 people a week in March 2020, to 1200 people a week in March 2022.
As always, the people and businesses of Sheffield have stepped up to donate to us, and support others in need. Our heartbeat as a foodbank has always been people donating to others they will never meet. Please know how much we appreciate your support!
We still firmly believe that nobody in Sheffield should have to face going hungry Our new campaign underlines that message with the hashtag #NobodyGoesWithout.
Cash donations help us to buy in bulk in a targeted way. Our main warehouse processes around 13 tonnes of food a week, up from 1.7 tonnes pre-pandemic, with deliveries arriving on huge lorries and a warehouse stacked full, only to be empty again a week later!
Sometimes the numbers involved can seem daunting so we'll make it simple - £27 provides food and basic essentials for a family of three for three days.
Keep an eye on our social media @s6foodbank and get involved this year. We welcome any support you can offer, from fundraising to volunteering and sharing our campaigns.
Thank you so much for all your support, love and encouragement - we think you are all amazing. Chris and the team at S6 Foodbank.
