MK Food Bank has launched its BIG Little GIVE 2022 campaign.
MK Food Bank has launched its latest campaign following what they say has been one of the busiest winters ever.
In the 6 weeks of 2022 so far, MK Food Bank have given out more than 2,500 food parcels.
This is around 10% up on last year – and rising. It also means that the Food Bank are running dangerously low on our core food items.
The Food Bank is asking that as many people as possible GIVE a Little, to make a BIG difference, with a goal to collect 33,333 of its desperately needed items throughout the month of March.
A spokesperson for MK Food Bank said: "Right now, we are in the middle of the busiest winter the Food Bank has ever seen.
"Food prices and home energy costs are absolutely soaring and every single day we hear from dozens of people who can’t keep their houses warm or who are struggling to feed themselves and their children."
