Stoke-on-Trent Foodbank are doing their Christmas drive in Tesco Hanley this week and I urge all who are able to donate to drop off some non-perishable donations.

This year, the foodbanks in Stoke-on-Trent are suffering from their worst year of donations and highest number of families needing support as Universal Credit continues to be rolled out in the city; your donation will help make up a Christmas food parcel for someone who has turned to the foodbank for help.

For more information about what items the foodbank is short of, please check this list, or if you are able to, consider donating cash to enable them to carry on providing this vital service: https://stokeontrent.foodbank.org.uk/give-help/donate-food/
