Food parcels help thousands at Christmas
Thousands in the UK are benefiting from food parcels as rising prices create challenges. Charity FareShare South West has distributed over 800 tonnes of produce, providing more than 500,000 meals to those in need in Devon and Cornwall. Initiatives like the food co-op at Burrington Hub are helping alleviate poverty during the Christmas season amid efforts to address food insecurity and rising costs through wage increases and energy bill reductions.
