Black Country Foodbank news – August 2011

Hi Everyone

Weeee’re baaack!

We’re refreshed (hopefully) and ready to go, the Storehouse is open for ‘business’ again after our holiday closure last week, so what could they possibly want you murmur….

Well.. Jeremy & Kelvin have surveyed the racks and we need to ask you to dig deep.

Thursday 28th July, before our closure, we fed (just at the Storehouse) an astonishing 41 people, yes you read that correctly, forty-one (including 22 children) in one day. What can I say, it’s the school holidays and children still need to eat; what’s most worrying is that the partner agency that cared enough to get these families some help won’t be around anymore, they’ve been CUT!
