Rise in food charity school holiday meal deliveries

Food charity Sofea, part of FareShare, delivered 15,000 more meals in July compared to last year, with a total of 2,500 tonnes of food nationally during summer holidays. Sofea supplies local community larders like Abingdon Community Larder, making a significant impact on families in need. The increase in demand during school holidays has highlighted the essential role of food charities like Sofea in supporting communities.
