Bow Foodbank, established in 2016 in East London, has experienced a significant rise in demand for its services due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the ongoing cost-of-living crisis. Receiving funding from London City Airport's community fund, the foodbank aims to help families in financial distress by providing food at a fraction of the retail cost. With many families struggling, including a staggering number of pensioners and schoolchildren living below the poverty line, the foodbank's role in supporting the community is increasingly vital.
The Bow foodbank, which began to support a handful of families, saw its demand more than double during the pandemic, illustrating the severe impact of economic crises.
Funding from London City Airport's community fund aids 17 east London charities, emphasizing their vital role in addressing food insecurity and building community resilience.
