A Newcastle foodbank feeding hundreds of families every week is struggling to stay open as faces soaring energy bills.
Kenton Foodbank on Kirkwood Drive serves around 600 families each week and that number is continuing to rise as the community is hit hard by the cost of living crisis.
Founder Loree Moran-Wilson was working to supply furniture to struggling families when she realised that many of the homes she visited had no food in the cupboards and were unable to afford essential toiletries. She launched Kenton Foodbank just before the coronavirus pandemic hit three years ago and asked local supermarkets to donate to the cause.
