Hunger is not just a third world problem. Right now in Northampton, there are many people living on the edge of poverty and The Food Bank has been able to help many individuals and families who have experienced a crisis of some type.
All it takes is a sudden, unexpected event – a bereavement, illness, redundancy or theft – to throw people into a genuine crisis.
The Food Bank provides local families and individuals with essential food supplies at a time when they need them most, covering the days or sometimes weeks before other parts of the social care infrastructure can come into play
