Making a difference: August 2024 figures

As we continue our mission to support those facing food insecurity in our community, our August figures reflect the ongoing need within our community and the critical role Chichester District Foodbank plays in providing essential support.

August 2024 statistics:

• Adults fed: 253
• Children fed: 168
• Total people fed: 421

This means that 421 individuals received three meals a day for three days from our emergency food parcels. In total, we provided 3,789 meals.

Beyond the numbers

These figures are more than just statistics; they represent the lives touched and the hope extended to those in need. Each meal we provide is a step towards stability, offering relief and reassurance during challenging times.

Balanced nutrition and essential support

Our emergency food parcels are carefully designed to ensure that recipients receive balanced nutrition. Each parcel contains a variety of non-perishable food items, sufficient to provide three meals a day for three days. This immediate support allows families and individuals to focus on overcoming their circumstances without the added burden of hunger.

Community effort and gratitude

Our ability to reach so many in need is only possible through the generous support of our community. From food and monetary donations to the tireless efforts of our volunteers, every contribution plays a vital role in our work. We are immensely grateful for the continued support that empowers us to make a difference.
