A Gateshead charity is calling on local businesses to support its work in keeping families fed during the cost of living crisis.
Feeding Families, based in Blaydon, Gateshead, works alongside agencies such as social services, family support workers, schools and GPs to support those who are experiencing food poverty. A massive 44,000 people were helped by the charity last year, including 15,800 emergency boxes for families in crisis, 13,700 boxes supplied to people leaving hospital and more than 9,000 Christmas hampers.
And now Feeding Families is hoping more businesses will be able to support its work by getting involved in its first charity gala dinner this autumn.
