Demand for Stoke-on-Trent Foodbank rises

Apr 15, 2016, 10:27 AM

Stoke-on-Trent Foodbank gave out 11,038 food parcels to struggling families in 2015/16. 88 tonnes of food was donated and 400 volunteers helped to man 17 distribution centres at churches across the city. Rev. Martin Stephens, trustee, told me that the demand is likely to rise still further, amid funding challenges for the charity.
