Don't let your neighbours go hungry · 31 December 2022

Rochdale Foodbank is one of a network of over 400 Trussell foodbanks in the UK, working a Referral system to help ensure our clients get all the help they need to get out of their crisis. We currently help over 100 households every week with food that is 80% donated by the public, around 6000 kgs each month. We rely on financial donations to make up the remaining 20% costing us over £30000 each year as demand remains very high, due to the ongoing cost of living situation. We have direct help from Citizens Advice each day as well as from other Agencies who give free help to our clients. We are presently opening a CMA Connect Centre offering Debt Advice and Money support to our clients. We also operate Rochdale Central Pantry, giving our clients another help up the ladder out of food poverty. The Pantry has Members (mostly former foodbank clients) who pay a weekly fee to choose cheap or free food for themselves.

Story

Is there anything you can cut down on?

This winter try to pick something you could choose a cheaper option for or cut out all together and whatever you save you can share with others. 

While winter hits all of us and we adjust to the cold, bouts of illness and whatever personal challenges we may have...please help me try to do our bit for families choosing between heating and eating. Families for who warm food may not be an option without your donations.

These struggles are not inevitable. They are a result of broken global immoral capitalism that favours growth and luxury for the minority while the majority may never know what it feels like to be warm and not hungry. While we share what we have and be prepared to let go of some of our luxuries in order to give others their basics...don't forget there is a wider political need to change this system that puts pennies before people. Man will prefer greed if man rules without boundaries or guidance.
