Stocks are really LOW at the moment - please remember that people are struggling to feed their families during the summertime not just the winter. If you can even just put ONE item into a donation basket everytime you shop, then that would make a MASSIVE difference. Thank you!

[Lowestoft Foodbank @LowestoftFB]

Here are our current stock levels - tinned tuna and tinned meat are VERY LOW. All donations are given directly to those living in food poverty in our communities.
Please find here a list of donation points: https://t.co/Cay7if5RYR

Dear @AmberRuddHR, there are many reasons people need a #foodbank but today you said #UniversalCredit is “absolutely not” one of them. Evidence from @TrussellTrust shows it absolutely is. Will you correct your error? #5WeeksTooLong > https://t.co/eE5eFtb3bE

[Lowestoft Foodbank @LowestoftFB]

Well done everyone!! @TrussellTrust @lcclowestoft

A vital service, which has helped more than 4,000 people with food when they need it most, has marked a successful first year of operating. https://t.co/6urScecB89

@Allisonchaplin We have dgptpgattgm centres across the area, our website has the details under the "locations" tab. Thanks for your support.

[Lowestoft Foodbank @LowestoftFB]

Currently we are running very low on tinned fruit, tinned rice pudding, UHT milk and long-life fruit juice. If you are able to add these to your weekly shop and put them in the Foodbank donation baskets on the way out of your supermarket then that would be most appreciated!

@abfarbks You're right and it's something we aim to do more of. Thanks for your support.

[Lowestoft Foodbank @LowestoftFB]

@old_LT Hi. Anything with more than 6 weeks on the date would be gratefully received. Thanks for your support.

[Lowestoft Foodbank @LowestoftFB]

I've joined the #5WeeksTooLong campaign. People are being forced to food banks because 5 weeks is too long to wait for #UniversalCredit. This isn’t right – the government needs to end the 5 week wait. Join me & @TrussellTrust now https://t.co/JU765zRr0U

Thanks @LadBabyOfficial from all of us @LowestoftFB

[Trussell @TrussellUK]

Wow! You did it! We are overwhelmed at the support you've shown in getting @LadBabyOfficial song to #ChristmasNumberOne. All proceedings will support our #foodbank network to give emergency food & additional help to people whilst we work to end the need for #foodbanks. Thank you!
