Who funds food banks?
Food banks like those run by the Trussell Trust are typically funded by public donations of food and money, alongside grants from charitable foundations. They are not government-funded, meaning their capacity to help relies heavily on community generosity and volunteers. This makes their call for government action even more significant.
