6 food parcels and an update to our system

This week’s food bank we saw 6 food parcels distributed to families in need across Bolton 💙

Small update to the service:
3 of the people we had booked on to collect on Friday we had to re-assign to people on our waiting list due to no-contact-no-shows. We understand if you struggle to get to us on the day due to transport or scheduling issues but if you don’t let us know reasonably in advance parcels will be re-allocated to those who can make it in to collect. This isn’t the first time this happened so unfortunately we’re going to have to be stricter with no-shows in future, we’re only a small organisation with limited resources, we run on a trust system and no shows like this have a big impact on our service and staffs time.
