Three Soroptimists from the Cannock & District Club dedicated their time in collecting donations for Cannock Food Bank for World Food Day on 16th<\/sup> October 2023.<\/p>\n

For three weeks, Jill, Adrienne and June collected items generously donated by the general public.\u00a0 Posters were made and placed outside their homes for donations to be made. The response was overwhelming: in total a huge amount of 535 items were donated. Included was: tinned vegetables, meat, soup, fish, baked beans, fruit and puddings; pasta, pasta sauce, cereal, milk, coffee and tea.<\/p>\n

These items were delivered to the Food Bank on Monday 16th<\/sup> October by our three Soroptimists. Vicky from Cannock Food Bank said, \u201cThis help from the Soroptimists is just wonderful\u201d.<\/p>\n

The food bank hands out up to a ton of food every single week.\u00a0 Pre-Covid, the food bank held approximately 12 tons of food at any one time, however, they are now so short of food that they constantly worry there will be enough just to feed people as they have no stock to call on.\u00a0\u00a0 The food bank also provides food to 5 distribution centres across Cannock Chase.<\/p>\n

Between 400 and 500 vouchers are exchanged by the food bank from single people, families and couples every week \u2013 people who are genuinely in need of help.\u00a0\u00a0 Last year, from April 2022 to April 2023 the food bank supported 8,000 people in the Cannock Chase area, sadly the number of people coming for help has increased enormously.<\/p>\n

Soroptimists are delighted to have been able to help and will continue their support.<\/p>\n
