No one should be faced with the indignity of needing emergency food. Yet food banks in the Trussell Trust's network gave out 936,000 emergency food parcels between 1 April and 30 September. More than 356,000 of them went to children.
Need for emergency food has been increasing year-on-year and the latest figures from the Foodbank Network highlight an alarming 128% rise compared to this time five years ago.
During 2021 Hartlepool foodbank provided the following:
• 118,742 meals
• 1976 vouchers processed
• 3752 people, of which 1178 were children, supported with food parcels.
Together, we can end the need for food banks in the UK. Together, we can create a more just society.
