The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.

C shares her experience from last winter...
Over the Christmas period and into January we all had Covid. For months before this, our family income had been impacted by the pandemic. Statutory sick pay is around £13 a day and that's all I could get. Thankfully the food bank were there to support us with feeding our family and providing hygiene products. Luckily the food bank do not turn you away for being a working family in need. The food bank is helping those falling through the safety net.
Winter 2021 is looking just as tough too with rising prices squeezing already low incomes.
We work through 14 church-based foodbank centres, manned by volunteers and stocked mainly by donated food, open for 15 two-hour sessions in rotation to cover 5-days a week across Stoke-on-Trent and the outlying areas. These are supplied and supported by our central warehouse and office. Please help us to continue to cover the cost of essential transport, storage and admin support by joining in with our 12 Days of Christmas Giving.

Foodbanks help combat housing loss, family breakdown, mental health problems and more.
We work as part of a network of local organisations including other charities, such as Revival that help people when they get out of hospital.
We provide our guests with information on where they can get help to resolve the situation that brought them to us. This includes working in partnership with Money Matters.
