Keith Hadfield, the project manager at the foodbank, said: “We welcome the support of companies like BuckleyBrown. While we have good stock levels, none of us know how demand will be in the future, particularly with the current issues going on, so we always need to be prepared.“We have had a lot of support but it is about the people who use our service, and they can range from people who are homeless, to those who have suddenly lost their jobs and need to feed their families.”To speak with BuckleyBrown, call 01623 633633, or visit https://www.buckleybrown.co.uk/To find out more about the foodbank, visit https://sherwoodforest.foodbank.org.uk/.
