During the Covid-19 pandemic, Feeding Liverpool played a key role in the procurement and distribution of food supplies to support and sustain the work of emergency food providers in Liverpool.
From April – October 2020 Feeding Liverpool, in partnership with Feeding Britain, focused our response on two areas of support:
- Supporting the food supply of organisations providing emergency food provision whose demand may have increased, or food supply chain been disrupted due to the pandemic.
- Supporting the food supply and the growth and development of organisations such as pantries and community markets which seek to address food insecurity, whose membership may have increased, or food supply chain been disrupted due to the pandemic.
Feeding Liverpool told the stories of families in need of this emergency crisis support. Read our story bank including stories from The Smith family from Clubmoor who found themselves in a crisis when dad John lost his job in the hospitality sector and of The Martin Family from Norris Green who struggled when Mrs Martin was furloughed and Mr Martin needed to shield.
