Antrim Foodbank has said that the need for support is greater than the level of donations and resources they have
A NI foodbank has said that the demand for support is greater than what it is able to provide as it fears "worst winter yet".
Fionnuala O’Donnell, Manager at Antrim Foodbank, said: “In recent months, the need for emergency food parcels is outstripping the number of donations we are receiving. This coming winter will be our toughest and busiest ever, but we will continue to support the people who need us in Antrim. Emma Revie, Chief Executive of the Trussell Trust, said: “We don’t want to spend every winter saying things at food banks are getting worse, but they are. Food banks are not the answer in the long term, but while we continue to fight for the change that could mean they can be closed for good; Antrim Foodbank urgently needs your support.”
“Together, we have roots into hundreds of communities, and while someone facing hunger can’t change the structural issues driving the need for food banks on their own, thousands of us coming together can. We must end hunger across the UK so that no one needs a food bank to survive.”
