One of the goals of Liverpool’s Good Food Plan is to uncover the true scale of food insecurity. To work towards this goal, Feeding Liverpool have begun collecting information about the scale of food support in Liverpool from organisations providing emergency food support and community food provision. This short update is based on figures supplied by 57 organisations in the city who operate across 93 venues in January 2023.
Key figures:
- Over 2000 emergency food parcels are distributed every week
- Over 3800 community food space visits occur every week
- Over 3400 meals are consumed in a community meal setting every week
