Great cause but what a sad indictment on our society when anyone, in a so-called developed country, has to rely on food hand-outs to live.
Do we know what 8000 will do for them? Like is it a certain amount of meals or an extra member of staff or more people they can donate to?Cheers Saltgrass.
Please keep donating. We're going for an £8000 target on GoFundMe now - this money will make a difference to lives of people on Wearside this Christmas.

I’ve donated btw
The soup kitchen will be able to order pallets of fresh produce in (which they are currently unable to do - they rely on donations from supermarkets etc). They also need to buy a van because currently they don’t have one. The facilities they use are very basic also but they make the best of what they’ve got.
The Foodbank can make up a shedload of food parcels - these are given out so people can fill their cupboards and fridges for a few days.
I went down tonight to meet everyone and help out and it’s honestly the most humbling thing I’ve ever done. You have to see what is going on in our own city to believe it - tonight I served food to pensioners, teenagers, homeless people, mothers who can’t afford to feed their kids, a bloke who is a carer for his dying mate - honest, it’s a f***ing travesty that they rely on the kindness of others in order to eat.
well done mate.
you are right, the tough end of society is on its knees and there is very little help for them.
Sickens me that places like this need to exist thanks to the lack of generosity from the powers that be!The soup kitchen will be able to order pallets of fresh produce in (which they are currently unable to do - they rely on donations from supermarkets etc).
