“In the last few years our calls and the number of parcels we hand out has increased three fold.

At the moment, there is extra financial pressure on people due to Covid-19 and we’ve been helping those who may have lost their jobs or are running out of food with children at home.

I think it’s been a rude awakening for some people, perhaps those who are self-employed or were employed, to realise just how little benefits you receive. People seem to think claiming and living off of universal credit is easy, until they actually try living on just £90 a week.”

      Hi Amanda
      Thanks for reaching out. I’m really worried to hear this.
      You don’t say where you are based in the county, but look up your nearest food bank on this map – https://lincolnshirefoodpartnership.org/foodbanks
      Contact details appear when you click on a pin on the map. You may need a referral, but they will explain what to do. If you have any difficulty, email enquiries@lincolnshirefoodpartnership.org and say whereabouts you are based, but it is normally quicker to contact food banks directly.
      I hope this helps.
