URBOND is thrilled to announce that its community food bank is back up and running, providing vital support to families in need across the area. After a brief hiatus, the food bank is once again offering a weekly supply of fresh and healthy food tailored to meet the diverse needs of households in the community.
The food bank, a crucial resource for families facing food insecurity, will operate every week, ensuring that local residents have access to nutritious meals. Volunteers and staff have been working tirelessly to stock the shelves with a variety of fresh produce, pantry staples, and other essentials, all aimed at promoting healthy eating and well-being.
“Our mission has always been to support families in our community, and we are excited to reopen our doors and continue this important work,” said Martina Elgue, Youth Development Manager at URBOND. “We understand that many families are facing challenging times, and our goal is to provide them with the resources they need to thrive.”
URBOND’s community foodbank serves as a vital lifeline for many families, particularly during times of economic uncertainty. The organisation is committed to ensuring that everyone has access to the food they need, regardless of their circumstances.
In addition to food distribution, URBOND plans to host workshops on nutrition and meal planning, empowering families to make informed choices about their diets. These initiatives are part of a broader effort to not only alleviate hunger but also promote long-term health and wellness in the community.
The community is encouraged to participate by donating non-perishable food items or volunteering their time to help with distribution efforts. URBOND believes that by working together, they can make a significant impact on food security in the area.
