Manningtree and District Food Bank

Following on from the success of our collection for the Food Bank in 2022 we decided to collect again for those families within the Manningtree radius who need support over the Christmas period.

The generous donations we have collected over the past few years have helped an incredible number of local families in need. For many of us, Christmas is a joyous occasion but for others, it can be a deeply stressful time.

Foodbanks are an essential lifeline for local people in crisis. They don’t just provide food, they work closely with frontline professionals (such as schools, GPs, advice agencies) within the community to identify people in need of help, who in turn can refer people to a local food bank by giving them a foodbank voucher. The foodbanks can also offer a wider network of support, other than just food – this might be guidance on where to find help with benefits, housing and debt, or a referral to a specialist advisor (sometimes within foodbanks themselves).

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our staff, suppliers and homeowners for their support, kindness and very generous donations.
