Dear Friend,
Our latest figures, released today, reveal that half a million emergency food parcels have been distributed by Trussell Trust foodbanks between April and September 2016, with benefit delays and changes being the biggest reasons for foodbank use.
519,342 three-day emergency food supplies to be exact, with 188,584 of those having gone to children.
This means it's set to be our busiest year ever, as the Foodbank Network is on course to distribute the highest number of food parcels in its 12-year history during 2016-17.
