*FOOD BANK TEMPORARILY CLOSED WED 29TH AND THURS 30TH SEPT*
Despite our best efforts π, the ongoing 'fuel pandemic β½' and HGV π driver shortage has hindered our progress in getting stock for this week's food bank π₯¦. Our supply chain π has falling behind schedule and has delayed deliveries for days.
Whilst we had anticipated π¨βπ» this to be an issue for the last few months π, we managed to continue sourcing foods π from various suppliers to continue our work π«. This sometimes meant travelling for more then 3 to 4 β hours to collect supplies to provide easier access to food π₯ for our community.
However, the surge in demand for fuel β½ since the weekend meant that our suppliers π·ββοΈ and collections team π±ββοΈ are not able to move around quick enough π to get the required amount of stock to open our doors.
Hundreds of people πββοΈπββοΈπ rely our foodbank π service on a weekly basis, we therefore hope and pray π that things return to normal by next week so we can open our doors again π.
