The Meriden Foodbank’s ethos is ‘Food for All’, however this is in jeopardy this winter as it faces an increase in demand and a drop in donations.
The foodbank is encouraging residents to channel their community spirit this Christmas and give what they can to help those in need.
In particular, the foodbank is seeking non-perishable items such as tin cans, long-life milk, and pasta, as well as nappies, formula and baby food.
Up until recently, the foodbank received large monthly donations of non-perishables, but as need in the county has increased, these donations have to be shared with other foodbanks.
Foodbank manager Annalisa Buragilo Molteni told GARSTONnews: “Donations started decreasing at the beginning of 2024, but now the numbers of people in need are rising this winter and the foodbank is stretched, like most others.
“The donations that people give are appreciated – even for very little.”
To donate, visit the Meriden Community Centre on a Friday and give what you can.
