Renfrewshire Foodbank has issued an urgent appeal for donations as stocks plummet due to the rising demand brought on by the cost-of-living crisis.
In the last month alone, almost 2,000 have turned to the food bank for help to feed themselves and their families – a shocking 42 per cent increase from March 2022.
In the last financial year – from April 6, 2022 to April 5, 2023 – almost 10,000 people needed to access the emergency food aid.
