Eastern Valley Foodbank

For anyone who's in South Wales:

The Trussel Trust is a Christian organisation operating a number of emergency foodbanks across the country.  They are planning to open such a foodbank in Torfaen early next year.  The foodbanks help individuals and families in crisis, through the provision of emergency food supplies.  A network of distributors, consisting of health visitors, social workers and other community based support services work closely with the foodbanks to supply much needed food in these times of need, and the Trussel Trust see this as a great opportunity to demonstrate the love of Jesus in a practical way in a broken world.  Across the country the Trust’s foodbank network fed over 100,000 people in the first six months of 2012, and each month the numbers needing help are increasing.  The need in Torfaen is likely to be equally high.
