In the first six months of the pandemic, the food banks in our network gave out a staggering 1.2 million food parcels. Thats one food parcel every 13 seconds, and 2,600 food parcels were given to children every day on average. This isnt right. Together we can build a fairer, more just society, where all of us can afford the essentials. The pandemic has shown the unexpected can hit us suddenly, with devastating consequences for peoples lives. But its also shown we can make huge changes to the way we live and look after each other. Its shown that when we come together we can push for change. Together, we can build a hunger free future.
