Foodbank for Kent

A few of us are getting together to make a reality of a simple vision: that no person living in the Garden of England goes short of food.

Contact has been made with individuals in a number of towns in Kent and we have started to map existing need and provision.

There is much to discuss and do, with the emphasis on do, but we will achieve our vision, common humanity demands it.

I was encouraged greatly by the Kent & Sussex Courier newspaper article and editorial on 12 March this year which set out the stark realities of poverty and the reluctance of many to acknowledge its existence in their midst.
