New statistics highlight why we need your help ending hunger in the Braintree District this winter

Shocking new statistics reveal that Braintree Area Foodbank provided nearly 6,000 emergency food parcels to people facing hardship between April and September 2024. Over 2,000 of these parcels went to children.

Together with food banks in the Trussell community, we have provided more than 1.4 million emergency food parcels across the UK during this time.

Whilst the need for food banks remains extremely high, your support continues to be hugely valuable and vital so that we can be there for people struggling to afford the essentials.

Winter is our busiest time of the year and we can’t let this go on. Will you play your part in ending hunger in AREA?
