“They need everyone to play their part to move us towards ending the need for emergency food in Yorkshire and the Humber.”
The trust said that one in five people receiving parcels were using food banks for the first time and 37,246 of the parcels it handed out were for children.

Ms Revie said the government had made “promising steps”, however she added there needed to be “a clearer plan with more decisive action to invest in our social security system, if we are to end hunger once and for all.”
