Feeding our communities
April 15, 2020 | Love Black Country
Gareth Brown, who heads up Smethwick Church Action Network (CAN), is being featured on a national food poverty webinar today hosted by the Cinnamon Network.
The Covid-19 crisis has brought with it some huge challenges related to food poverty and the wider food economy. We’ve seen panic buying, a lack of online deliveries and, worst of all, the increasing demand for emergency food aid.
If you run a food project that has been affected by Covid-19 or you are interested in knowing how you can get involved in tackling food poverty both now and in the future then it’s well worth listening to.
