Food industry is helping those in need

The food industry is proudly helping those in need. With retail prices souring ever higher and with no end to this unhappy situation in sight, more and more people are seeking help from food pantry schemes and food banks. Even those who wouldn't have considered themselves in need or desperate, now realise that they are, indeed, in need and desperate. 

Many people who are in the food industry read That's Food and Drink and That's Food and Drink is asking if you could, please, help out your local food banks or food pantry schemes by providing them with stocks of food.

Generally speaking they require tinned and dried goods, bakery items, fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, salad items, seasoning, soft drinks, cordials, teas, coffee, etc, etc.

How do you learn where your nearest food pantry scheme or food bank project is based? Just Google "Food bank nearest me" or "food pantry schemes near me" and Google will assist you. If you are a buyer or PR officer working for a nationally based supermarket or wholesaler and you'd like to get your company involved on a national scheme we'll include some resources for you.

That's Food and Drink is involved with a couple of food banks local to us.

Helping foodbanks or food pantry schemes is also a good way of reducing food waste, so it's good for the environment, too.
