As another week passes in lockdown, the demand for the town’s foodbank continues to grow. Week on week, the rise in people losing their jobs or being placed in furlough has contributed to a direct uplift in foodbank user numbers.
The most up to date figures now show that from 23rd March to the 23rd April, the town’s foodbank has delivered 907 food parcels which have fed 2,038 local people.
The increase in demand brings with it a continued urgency for tinned and long life foods.
Food donation points can now be found at the following stores:
- Tesco Express, Brunshaw Road, Burnley
- Asda, Princess Way, Burnley
- Lidl, Colne Road, Burnley
- Marks & Spencer, St James’ Street, Burnley
