Testimonials
"After losing my wife, I found myself alone and lost. The house was too quiet, the days too long. I slipped into a depression I didn’t even see coming. One day, I decided to donate some of her clothes to Kenton Food Bank, and something unexpected happened. The people there were so warm and welcoming, I ended up staying for a cup of tea and a chat. That one visit turned into something much bigger – I started volunteering a few hours a week. It gave me purpose again. I’ve made new friends, and I feel part of something important. I may have gone in to give, but in the end, I received so much more. Thank you, Kenton Food Bank, for helping me find joy again."
"When my husband was made redundant, our whole world was turned upside down. He was the main earner in our family, and suddenly we found ourselves struggling to make ends meet. With two young children to feed and bills piling up, the stress was overwhelming. I felt embarrassed at first, but I reached out to Kenton Food Bank – and I’m so glad I did. For nearly two months, they were our lifeline. The volunteers treated us with kindness and dignity, and the food parcels made sure our children never went without. We’re back on our feet now – my husband has found work again – but I’ll never forget the support we received during those hard weeks. Thank you, Kenton Food Bank, for being there when we needed you most."
