During the year from April 2015 to March 2016, Thurrock foodbank has been able to help over 3,600 people with emergency food. That’s over 35,000 nutritionally balanced meals.
Sarah Cordell, Manager of Thurrock foodbank said, “ We are so grateful to everyone who has donated food items or money to Thurrock foodbank over the past year and for their continuing support to make sure no one goes hungry. However our demand for food is currently far out-stripping our current level of donations, so we would encourage everyone to add one extra item to their basket whenever they go shopping and give this to the foodbank to help local people in need.”
