Kind boy, 11, uses birthday money to run foodbank service from his garden shed

A kind-hearted 11-year-old boy used his own birthday money to launch a foodbank service - which he runs from his garden shed. Isaac Winfield fills bags of groceries which have been donated and hands them out to the needy around his hometown.

The generous youngster started the foodbank after asking his mum Claire to give him money for groceries instead of a birthday present. Since starting the foodbank in 2020, the service has grown so much Isaac’s family bought a shed to store the hundreds of donated items.

Well-wishers can now donate food or ask for supplies by contacting the schoolboy via his Friends of Isaac Food Bank Facebook page. He takes bags of shopping to people or his parents give him a lift in their van at weekends which has been customised with Isaac’s instantly recognisable rainbow logo.
