New statistics highlight why we need your help ending hunger in Haverhill this winter
Shocking new statistics reveal that REACH's Haverhill Foodbank provided 1039 emergency food parcels to people facing hardship between April and September 2024. 384 of these parcels went to children.
Together with food banks in the Trussell community, we have provided more than 1.4 million emergency food parcels across the UK during this time.
Whilst the need for food banks remains extremely high, your support continues to be hugely valuable and vital so that we can be there for people struggling to afford the essentials.
Winter is our busiest time of the year and we can’t let this go on. Will you play your part in ending hunger in and around Haverhill?

Continue having conversations with your friends, family and neighbours about the impossible decisions that people visiting the food bank are facing, the solutions and ways we can end hunger, and how they can play their part in helping us to do this.
