FIGURES FOR THE NUMBER OF FOOD PARCELS PROVIDED BY SLOUGH FOODBANK DURING 1 – 31 OCTOBER 2024, COMPARED WITH THE SAME PERIOD IN OCTOBER 2023
Total number of food parcels: 1124, a 26% increase
Number of adults: 684, a 12% increase
Number of children: 440, a 56% increase
The numbers keep on rising and as with September, we are seeing a large increase in the number of children who require emergency crisis support from Slough Foodbank, showing that more families are facing hardship and being forced into food poverty crisis. Can you help support us with food donations so we can continue to meet the demand we will unfortunately face over the winter?
