New figures released today reveal #Sheffield food banks in the Trussell Trust’s network provided a total of 104,349 parcels to people facing financial hardship across the city, from 1 April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2022. 
The 295% increase compared to the same period in 2019/20 – before the pandemic – reveals that more & more people in #Sheffield are unable to afford the absolute essentials that we all need to eat, stay warm, dry & clean - & the #CostOfLivingCrisis is only just beginning to bite.
22,926 food parcels were provided for #Sheffield children between April 1, 2021 & March 31, 2022; & 16,428 between April 1, 2020 & March 31, 2021, representing a huge growth of 430% & 308%, respectively, when compared with April 1, 2019 - March 31, 2020 when 5,331 were given out.
After 12 years of Tory misrule, food bank managers are warning of an accelerating #CostOfLivingCrisis: food banks in the Trussell Trust’s network provided more than 2.1 million parcels to people facing financial hardship across the UK from 1/4/21-31/3/22.
