THE WREXHAM Foodbank has revealed its most recent statistics following its latest appeal to continue supporting vulnerable individuals.

Wrexham's Foodbank has issued a message of gratitude to the community, volunteers and its partners for an incredible team effort.

It's been a busy winter period once again for the team at the foodbank, made even more complicated by the emergency relocation to the new warehouse. 

Between November, 1 and January 31, the foodbank has:

  • Provided food parcels for 1,804 adults

  • Provided food parcels for 1,082 children

  • Received 20,046 kg's of stock

  • Sent out 19,163.28 kg's stock

  • Provided over £1,000 worth of blankets, socks, hats and gloves

  • Supported income maximisation through CMA Connect Wrexham and at our 8 satellites

On Facebook, a spokesperson said: "This is all on top of an emergency relocation to our new warehouse.

"We really hope that there will be less need for our parcels in the future but in the meantime we will be here."

In their latest appeal, the foodbank is now asking for donations of specific items which can be donated to Wrexham supermarkets.
