Aim
Without your help our Foodbank cannot continue to help local people as it is costing us £2,000 each month, which we can no longer sustain.
Who are we, and what is our project about?
Deal Foodbank & Pantry supports over 1000 local people each month who are either in a crisis situation facing food poverty or are struggling with food bills.
Our local charity is the only one in the Deal area (and surrounding villages) that offer food provision to people needing this help - no other foodbank or pantry covers this area.
This year we have seen an increase of 65% vs 2024/5. More and more people are reaching out for help due to the economic climate but obviously food and financial donations are down as food costs have soared by +40% and everyone is noticing the increase now.
Many crates in our warehouse are empty and there are lots of basic items like biscuits, long-life milk and spreads that we have none of!
This means we are spending around £2,200 per month on food to sustain this need we are faced with, which our small charity cannot sustain without support.
Why are we crowdfunding?
Without your donations, our Foodbank cannot continue to help local people as it is costing us £2,000 each month which we can no longer sustain.
Without our Foodbank and Pantry there is nowhere else in Deal and the surrounding villages to get help.
How we’ll spend the money raised
All donations raised will be spent on buying essential food items for our Foodbank and Pantry: items such as long-life milk, shampoo, pasta sauce, cooking oil and tinned goods.
