The Food Banks are facing a major crisis and they need your help.

The Problem

With the country facing a cost of living crisis, increases in fuel costs and energy costs, plus food inflation running at about 16% more people, many of whom are working are having to rely on the Food Banks for support.

The number of people using the Food Banks has increased by 60% in the last year. At the same time  donations to food banks have fallen by 50%.

The Trussell trust, which runs many Food Banks throughout the country (but not Havant) for the first time launched  an emergency crisis appeal.

Havant Rotary’s Feed Havant Project

Feed Havant is a Havant Rotary Club Project set up to help the Food Banks  with the excellent job they are doing to help people in a time of crisis.

Havant Rotary Club has already donated £12,000 to support the Food Banks in Havant, Leigh Park, Emsworth, Waterlooville and Hayling Island.

Our aims are:

• Increase the awareness of the service that The Food Banks can provide if you need help, and how to reach them.
• To increase food donations to all our food banks.
• Raise money both from ourselves, the general public and local businesses for the Food Banks, to enable them to be able to purchase food when donations are low.
• To attempt to persuade the supermarkets to keep food donations local.
