CHRISTMAS
PRESS RELEASE
This December, The First Base
Agency foodbank will issue over 500 hundred emergency food parcels.
This is 20% up on the same period last year. Will demand continue to
rise as we enter a new decade? It seems like it almost certainly
will. The impact of the Welfare Reforms continues to have a
catastrophic effect on many individuals and families across the
region. As there were no indications of any policy changes in the
Conservative manifesto, there is no reason to hope for any
improvements.
There are also underlying forces
which seem almost certain to drive up demand for emergency food over
the coming months. The price of the cheaper supermarket food ranges
has gone up steeply over recent months. Last spring, First Base was
paying 31p for the cheapest Corn Flakes we could find. Now the same
box costs 55p. Almost double. Once again we have seen a 10% increase
in the cost of gas and electricity. These price rises hit the poorest
the hardest and every passing week sees more and more families find
themselves in a position where incomings are no longer able to deal
with outgoings. Families have no more money to lend. Credit cards are
maxed out. And we become the only show in town.
How far might the rise in demand
go in 2020? It is impossible to say.
Thankfully this Christmas our
local community has supported us like it has never supported us
before. Over the last few weeks we have had nearly £20,000 of
support in the form of both food and cash. Front line charities all
across the country are finding it harder and harder to stay afloat as
many sources of funding are slowly drying up. Without the astounding
support of the local community, First Base couldn't possibly do what
we do. We have been issuing emergency food parcels for 16 years now.
Never once have we been forced to send anyone away empty handed due
to having no food to give. Never once. And it will not happen this
Christmas thanks to literally hundreds of people taking a moment to
think of members of the community who are living through hard times.
To each and every one of you who has supported us, thank you. Every
one of the 25 collection points where our emergency parcels are
available is fully stocked. From Langholm to Castle Douglas. From
Kelloholm to Dalbeattie. There is no need for anyone to go hungry
this Christmas thanks to fantastic support we have received. So once
again, thank you!

Omg I Finally Got Helped !! I'm so excited right now, I just have to share my testimony on this Forum.. The feeling of being loved takes away so much burden from our shoulders. I had all this but I made a big mistake when I cheated on my wife with another woman and my wife left me for over 4 months after she found out.. I was lonely, sad and devastated. Luckily I was directed to a very powerful spell caster Dr Emu who helped me cast a spell of reconciliation on our Relationship and he brought back my wife and now she loves me far more than ever.. I'm so happy with life now. Thank you so much Dr Emu, kindly Contact Dr Emu Today and get any kind of help you want.. Via Email emutemple@gmail.com or Call/WhatsApp +2347012841542

ReplyDeleteTESTIMONY ON HOW I GOT CURED TOTALLY FROM HERPES VIRUS BY DR ISHIAKU HERBS
ReplyDeleteI want to inform the public how I was cured of herpes Virus by a Doctor called Dr ISHIAKU. I visited different hospitals but they gave me a list of drugs like Famvir, Zovirax, and Valtrex which are very expensive to treat the symptoms and never cured me. I was browsing through the Internet searching for remedies on Herpes and I saw comments of people talking about how Doctor ishiaku cured them. I Was scared because I never believed in the Internet but I was convinced to give him a try because I had no hope of being cured of herpes so I decided to contact him on his email, i searched his email on the net and I saw a lot of people testifying about his goodness. When I contacted him he gave me hope and sent a Herbal medicine to me that I took and it seriously worked for me, am a free person now without any problems, my HERPES result came out negative. You can contact him on his email: (ishiakuherbalcure@yahoo.com)or what - sapp him via (+2348180828544) and get all your problems solved.
