Food bank appeals for help due to soaring demand
Boston Food Bank, part of The Trussell Trust network in the UK, appeals for donations as it faces record demand, with increasing costs leading to more people needing help with food and heating. The food bank, based at Boston Stump, provides a vital service, supporting over 3,000 individuals so far this year, including nearly 1,000 children. Donations of non-perishable items like tinned food, dry pasta, and rice are requested to meet the growing need in the community and support individuals like Alina, who now volunteers at the food bank after receiving assistance.
