Horsham Matters Food Bank - The food bank started 2022 by providing food for 347 people and ended it by feeding 1,466 adults and children in December – an illustration of how tough things have got for many. January 2023 has continued in the same vein with 788 people needing support with food. More and more of those needing help are working people, finding their salaries no longer cover both bills and food, and our support in household budgeting, debt advice and benefits checks is proving a valuable service to those now in crisis.
 

If you can spare an item or two, the foodbank is currently short of:

Jam, Marmite, Chocolate Spread and Peanut Butter, Ketchup, Brown Sauce and Mayonnaise, Long-Life Sponge Puddings, Laundry Detergent, Deodorant

OUR DONATIONS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER.
