In 2018, 1,076 food parcels were handed out by Emmanuel Church, in Weston Favell Shopping Centre, to people in the Eastern District of Northampton who are in poverty. These parcels, on average, would have fed a family of three, which is 3,228 people for three days at a time.
The provision of hot meals handed out by Cafe Emm to Weston Favell Centre Food Bank users has also seen a year-on-year increase of 232 per cent. This money was spent on 142 food bank users who access Weston Favell Centre Food Bank, giving them a slice of toast and a cup of tea, some of whom have not eaten for a few days.
But it is not just emergency food parcels and hot meals they fund. In January this year, £852 has been spent almost entirely on helping people in fuel poverty, but the food bank now even pays for pet food and clothes if people are in need.
What can I donate?
While the the food bank is really appreciative of all donations, at the moment it really needs tinned meat and fish, granulated sugar, cooking oil, salt, tinned fruit, razors, shower gel and washing powder.
