Thanks to a grant from the Louisa Fund, Stoney Stanton Foodbank has been able to provide 12 months of fuel and rental costs for food storage to be able to deliver and provide food to local residents who are struggling economically and may be vulnerable due disabilities.
Food parcels are delivered by a volunteer and providing fuel for the van is vital in insuring that the foodbank can help the wider community who may be vulnerable and/or cannot leave their homes. Without the foodbank container, they wouldn’t be able to store the food at appropriate temperatures and be able to give a variety of produce at their food bank to ensure that members of the community can attain a healthy, balanced diet.
