FIGURES FOR THE NUMBER OF FOOD PARCELS PROVIDED BY SLOUGH FOODBANK DURING 1 – 31 May 2022, COMPARED WITH THE SAME PERIOD IN 2021.
Total number of food parcels: 849, a 41% increase
Number of adults: 511, a 30% increase
Number of children: 338, a 60% increase
Shocking figures as once again demand increases due to the cost of living crisis. The huge increase in the number of children receiving a food parcel demonstrates that families are being hit hard and parents in Slough continue to face tough decisions, pay their bills or skip meals. This is not right – we continue to campaign for a #HungerFreeFuture.
