More than 15,000 people used food banks in the Wirral in 2019, a figure that has increased since the pandemic

Every day in our community there are parents unable to feed their children, elderly people living in fear, wondering where their next meal is coming from, the homeless unable to access food or shelter and the vulnerable unable to care for themselves without anyone able to go in and support them.

Covid-19 caused our industry to collapse, preventing us from opening for months, but we're fighting back at Elephant Bank by volunteering our time and kitchen to cook meals for those in need across our community. We've already been donating meals to the fantastic NHS staff at Arrowe Park and now are joining with Open Kitchens so we can help even more vulnerable people.

We're not alone either, there are many kitchens across the UK working for free to feed their community as part of the Open Kitchens initiative. You can show your support by visiting the Open Kitchens website and help spread the word by following Open Kitchens on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter & LinkedIn.

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far, your kindness and generosity is making a huge difference to many people in our community every day!

Now, and more than ever we need to come together, so please dig deep and donate to help feed those in need.

With love,

The team at Elephant Bank
