Christmas is only a few weeks away. No doubt lots of people are already looking forward to the festive season, thinking about their Christmas dinner or what gifts to buy their families.
Christmas is supposed to be a time for joy celebration - but for too many people it’s becoming increasingly difficult, with more people than ever expected to need to use a food bank during the festive period.
Food banks provide a minimum of three-days’ nutritionally balanced, non-perishable tinned and dried foods that have been donated by people in the local community,
