Black Country Food Bank Impact Report
After a tough couple of years adapting to the challenges of the pandemic the country was quickly plunged into the ‘cost of living’ crisis which shaped trends for 2022. For Black Country Foodbank this meant we had to react and respond to make sure that we reached as many people as possible. Through opening more Foodbanks, offering a voucher code to front line workers over the telephone, bulk buying food and toiletries, launching our recipe bags and sharing our stock with 50+ other food aid charities across the Black Country we have managed to provide for everyone that has accessed our services.
The figures that you will read in this report are staggering but please remember that these figures are only the tip of the iceberg. There are many more people who are not accessing Foodbanks or help from charities because of fear, pride or lack of knowledge. The levels of poverty run much deeper than this report conveys.
This is not the situation we had hoped for. We hope that one day we will be reporting that we are closing our Foodbanks. We will continue to share our stories and stats and use our voices to fight for change, whilst making sure that we are meeting the need to the best of our ability. Thank you for your support and standing with us.
