Supermarket Vouchers

Due to funding, we have been able to provide supermarket vouchers to families and individuals who have used a foodbank. These have been very well received as they enable choice and dignity.

Families and individuals have been overwhelmed by the gift of a supermarket voucher and been able to buy items that they really need for a nutritional, balanced diet.

The vouchers have enhanced the food parcel that we provide, so that the family or individual can buy fresh food, particularly fruit and vegetables, but also bread, eggs and butter.

However, the vouchers have also been used for items that most of us would never expect. One lady told our foodbank lead that she had been able to buy her daughter a birthday cake where she would have otherwise gone without. This is a humbling story and reminds us of the struggles that people are facing.

We are thankful for the funding that enabled us to provide supermarket vouchers to those in need.
