The local food bank continues to serve those who come to us. We see many families and on a Tuesday almost as many children as adults. In February and March we had more than 800 beneficiaries.
To feed this many on an emergency basis we have needed to increase our spending from our reserves on produce. We have benefited from collecting from the Haringey Food Network Hub, though the non perishable food delivered by Fare Share is now ending. Fresh food is available such as fruit and vegetables as well as eggs and bread so we will make more use of this. However, it has pushed us to have our first Morrisons' bulk buy delivery this week.
We have also taken on more young people to help as part of their Duke of Edinburgh award scheme, something which we are glad to do at this time where there are still few places open for young people to be involve din , outside of school.
We continue to be humbled by local people's generosity . If you wish to give we would gladly take the likes of long life milk, standard bags of porridge and rice, biscuits, shower gel and juice.
Many thanks,
