Preparations for Food Bank
As the past few months have gone by, we have been planning ways to help our local food bank in Poole, fondly known as Jimmy’s.
They not only support local people and families with food items but also offer much-needed support.
As everyday living costs have risen, the expenses for families and individuals have led to added struggles for many. During 2023–2024, 3,121,404 people accessed food banks across the country, and this number is set to increase further, with more families seeking the help they provide.
Over the last week, residents and staff have been making and preparing lunches to take to the food bank, which have been delivered daily by Colten staff, providing support to the families that Jimmy’s assists.
