Tomorrow marks the 10 year anniversary of Stoke-on-Trent foodbank.
We are finding it difficult to see this as a celebration as we don’t agree with the need of foodbanks. We are striving to create a community that doesn’t need a network of foodbanks, where everyone has enough money to afford food.
So, tomorrow we will join together with present and past staff and volunteers to thank them for their support, generosity and kindness. It will be a day to reflect and a day to refocus as we envision a foodbank free future.
Please spare us a thought tomorrow and if you are interested in the work please sign up for our newsletter by emailing [email protected]
