Hearing where this money goes really gives you satisfaction that we are supporting the heart of our community . A special mention to Joey at JK Electrical who did his own raffle and hosted a special Christmas party - his contribution really helped to achieve this amazing total raised !"
Richard Roberts , General Manager at Wirral Foodbank said “ We believe that the provision of emergency food alone should not be the solution to poverty , regardless of how it is distributed . In 2018 , Wirral Foodbank launched Foodbank Plus , a service delivered by Citizens Advice Wirral and commissioned by Wirral Foodbank . The service provides immediate benefit , debt and other advice and support to individuals who use the foodbank ; in doing this wirrallife . com 11
