Netherfield Foodbank helped feed 30 families over festive period

A foodbank in Netherfield helped feed 30 families over the Christmas period, it has been revealed.

Netherfield Foodbank, hosted by Bethesda Ministries, had help from Netherfield Primary School in getting together supplies it could hand out to families in need.

A spokesman for the charity said: “We are aware that this present economic crisis has made the high cost of living to have an impact on the budgets and incomes of borderline and benefit dependant families.

“This crisis has made many families who were getting by, very vulnerable and in need of a helping hand.

“The foodbank has been able to provide food parcels for 30 families who were contending with the high cost of living which is in the UK right now.

“Netherfield Foodbank is committed to support and assist the community in whichever ways necessary and we endeavour to keep the community of Netherfield high up in our priorities to offer whatever helping hand this community requires.”
