Food bank 'run off feet' as donations decline

Isle of Man Foodbank Experiencing Donation Decline Amid Increase in Requests for Help The Isle of Man Foodbank is facing a shortage of donations while seeing a surge in requests for assistance, leading to increased pressure on the charity. Operations Manager Erica Irwin reported a 30% rise in the distribution of food parcels over six months, with the organization struggling to meet demand. The food bank is in urgent need of items like jarred sauces, tinned food, and easy-to-prepare meals to support those in need, especially those without access to cooking facilities. A supermarket donation drive is planned for the end of November to replenish stocks in preparation for the holiday season.
