We've received a thank you letter
To all at Gracious Care,
We send our grateful thanks for the donation that was delivered to our Warehouse.
The total weight was 45.0kg.
It’s quite unreal to think how quickly this year has flown by and how many changes we have all had to adapt to, nowhere more than with those who are struggling to make ends meet.
With the rise in the price of petrol, the increase in gas prices to heat homes and the reduction of the weekly amount of Universal Credit, times are very tough and many more people are having to use Foodbank when in times past they would never have given this provision a second thought.
In the last month we have fed 377 Adults and 244 children, a total of 621 people. Which is a big rise in our normal distribution of food.
We have only been able to meet the needs of those people in crisis in our Borough through the generous and faithful supports of donors like yourselves.
So, thank you once again,
Kind Regards,
June Hodson
(Warehouse Manager)
Bromley Borough Foodbank
You can see from this that their work is very much still required and we were pleased to do what we could.
