The Sheffield S6 Foodbank feeds 1,200 people, including 400 children, each week. <\/p>\n
The crates they send out typically contain 30 items including toiletries and loo roll, alongside tinned tuna, tomatoes, chilli and various vegetables.<\/p>\n
“One of our biggest imports is tomatoes,” Mr Hardy explains.<\/p>\n
“We buy around seven containers of tomatoes every year which is 350,000-400,000 tins of tomatoes. <\/p>\n
“Those tins in a supermarket are about 43p and we’re paying about 33p for them, so we’re saving about 10p per tin.<\/p>\n
“Over the 300,000 tins, it’s a good chunk of saving.”<\/p>\n
That saving is now passed on to other food banks in the UK.<\/p>\n
“When we worked out we were saving money for ourselves, it just made sense that we helped our other food banks in our area and nationally,” he says.<\/p>\n
“We’re all trying to make sure we’re there for every person in our community – and we do that by saving money together.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Sheffield S6 Foodbank feeds 1,200 people, including 400 children, each week.
