Food Bank shortages 9 April 2024:
Tins of Carrots We have reasonable stocks of most items at present, but always glad of more. We don’t routinely put toiletries in the bags, but clients often appreciate toothpaste and other toiletries. Thanks to everybody for their continued support. Additional volunteersNew volunteers are always welcome. In particular, the Tuesday session would benefit from a couple of extra bodies to assist! The more volunteers there are, the less often each volunteer gets put on the rota. If you are interested in helping out please call down to Bingley Little Theatre (Bingley Arts Centre) on a Tuesday between 10am and 11.45am and speak to Barbara Walls. News - May 2020Bingley Food Bank now has it's own website - see bingleyfoodbank.org.uk/ and it's own page on Facebook NB There's an older page too that doesn't get updated, just to confuse us all. Typical usage - April and May 2020During these 8 weeks we fed 77 households feeding 224 individuals. Approximately
half are adults and half children - quite a number
of the ‘children’ are teenagers and have an ‘adult’ bag.
