When donating to a food bank, many of us may think of giving pasta or tinned food. 🥫 Though this food is appreciated, our food banks are also in need of some more unexpected, but essential items. Here's six unexpected things you can donate to your local food bank ⤵️

More than 6 in 10 working-age people referred to food banks in early 2020 were disabled. The Gov needs a plan to end the need for food banks recognising the experiences of disabled people. Read more in our latest #StateOfHunger blog now> bit.ly/3hhFo43

Thinking of donating to your local #foodbank this week? Make sure to check their website first to see what supplies they need most. You can find your nearest one here > trusselltrust.org/find-a-foo…
There’s just no words for this. Who is deciding to provide this food instead of a voucher?? So that families starve. Because they don’t trust them to spend money on food. This is despicable. It’s a pandemic. Things are bad enough already. Show some respect.

I’m working with a group of volunteers to try to get educational resources and stationery into the homes of vulnerable children who are lacking text books, laptops and just basic pens, rulers etc. Do I know anyone here with stationery contacts who could donate any items? RT
