Looking to next month, Jodie Jay, Operations Manager, Cardiff Foodbank, said, “As the weather begins to get colder, the pressure on household budgets may increase further. For many people already struggling to make ends meet, increased heating costs can mean even less money available for food and other essentials. For some it really is a stark choice of heating or eating.

“These increased fuel costs could lead to more people needing support from Cardiff Foodbank in the months ahead, making continued donations particularly important as we head towards winter.”

Cardiff Foodbank relies on donations to be able to provide emergency food parcels to people in crisis.

In August, 7,283 kg of food was donated, alongside 553.5 kg of purchased stock

We truly are grateful for everyone who continues to donate food, money, and time to help us support people in crisis across Cardiff. Our website has information on how you can support us.
