Hart Foodbank

?? Food bank use at record high – Action needed now! Food bank reliance has surged by 69% in the past five years, with over 1.4 million emergency food parcels distributed by the Trussell Trust from April to September—508,000 going to children. Rising living costs and stagnant incomes are driving this crisis. Campaigners are urging the government to ensure benefits cover basic needs and to stop normalising charity as a response to poverty. You can make a difference this winter: volunteer, donate, or advocate to help end hunger in the UK. Together, we can create change. ?? #EndHunger #FoodBankSupport #CostOfLivingCrisis #TogetherForChange ??https://ow.ly/HWMl50UgwJO
