Foodbank for Kent: Update

Foodbanks seek to ameliorate the problem of food poverty. In Kent there are a number of churches distributing free food, and not just in areas of poor economic performance such as Dover, Folkestone, Thanet and Sheerness.

The problem is across Kent. The hidden poor are struggling to adequately feed themselves whilst there are the trappings of affluence all around them.

A few of us are working to provide a robust and sustainable response to the problem of food poverty. We intend to meet early in May to review our research and decide on the next action points.
