This Wednesday, we’re hosting a collection drive at Tesco in Milton.

Collections like this give shoppers an easy opportunity to help us stock up on some vital essential items for our visitors. If you’re shopping, or visiting the area on the day, please do donate💚

#Donate

The increasing need for our support means that we run out of supplies quickly. We rely on #donations from the community – your help can make a difference.💚

This week, we’re running low on a few items. If you can help, please do so.

So far this year, we’ve supported 10% more visitors compared to the same timeframe last year. The #CostOfLiving may feel like old news, but people are still struggling and still need our help.

Every year starts with a downturn in donations. By organising collections, we’re able to bolster our supplies. Last month, we held a collection at @Waitrose, where we received a huge amount of donations.

Thank you for your #donations .💚

Your donations enable us to support our visitors through extremely stressful situations such as not being able to feed themselves.

This #StressAwarenessMonth , we’re asking you to reflect on what you can do to help. For inspiration, visit: cambridgecity.foodbank.org.uk/give-help/

With the sharpest rise in #poverty in 30 years, it is inevitable that more people will face #FoodInsecurity . Nobody should have to worry when they’ll get their next meal.

This week, we’re in need of a few key items to support our visitors. If you can #donate , please do. 💚

During the #CostOfLivingCrisis , 300,000 #children were below the #poverty line. Families are unable to afford basics, so we're calling for an Essentials Guarantee. If you believe that no one should go without essentials, please contact your MP for their support on the campaign.
