News from <strong>Truro</strong> Foodbank<br />
<strong>Truro</strong> Foodbank currently has just over 7<br />
tonnes of stock; distributing 6 to 6.5 tonnes<br />
every month. They are running just over a<br />
month in hand as they approach winter.<br />
In the six months from 1st April to 30th September<br />
<strong>2022</strong> they fed 2500 people. When Simon Fann -<br />
<strong>Truro</strong> Foodbank manager started in 2019 they<br />
fed 2800 in the whole year; demand is therefore<br />
virtually double what it was three short years ago.<br />
Harvest festival donations usually finish by the end<br />
of October and in previous years have resulted<br />
in a much needed boost to their stock; this year<br />
they are just helping the foodbank keep pace with<br />
what is going out.<br />
Many new people are coming into foodbank.<br />
Many have jobs but the income is not secure or<br />
high enough to feed their family size regularly.<br />
One in every three people fed is a child.<br />
Some people ask: Why do you want a referral<br />
voucher from an agency? Why do we have to<br />
give our name? The answer is that providing<br />
food is not enough<br />
- individuals need<br />
help and advice<br />
from a specialist<br />
person who<br />
can assist the<br />
circumstances that<br />
have led to crisis.<br />
There are about<br />

100 places that can issue a referral voucher. When<br />
a customer has a voucher it means the foodbank<br />
know they have spoken to someone who can help<br />
their circumstances.<br />
People coming into a foodbank are not judged<br />
in any way and are given items that suit their<br />
needs and requirements. Toiletries are also given<br />
where possible. They work with larders such as<br />
Nochildgoeshungryprobus and other agencies<br />
such as CHAOS and Cornwall Food Action<br />
because they believe collaboration is the best<br />
way to maximise help for people and to prevent<br />
food waste. If you can help or need help, visit their<br />
