From April 2017 to April 2018 a staggering 1,332,952 3 day emergency parcels have been given out nationally by the Trussell Trust Food-banks
Last year, 19,000 people across Leeds needed 3 day emergency food parcels from the Food-banks to get by. About a third of those people had jobs. Over half of those people had kids (food poverty gets worse over the school holidays, when schools aren’t there to help out). The situation is getting worse and worse, with the introduction of the austerity policies, and is now even worse with the recent benefit changes. Leeds’ Food-banks rely on volunteers and your donations to keep going.
