Families 'struggling to feed children in holidays'
Families in Devon are struggling to feed their children during school holidays, with food banks facing increased demand for affordable food supplies. Newquay Foodbank highlighted the challenges many families face during the summer break, with one in four young children at risk of needing food support. Charities like the Okehampton Community Kitchen are seeing a rise in the need for affordable food, offering services like a food club to help families like Chrissie Read's, who rely on these resources to make ends meet during the summer holidays.
