Over the past year, the Midhurst Freemasons have donated an impressive 20.6kg of food, equating to approximately 51.5 meals. These provisions have been instrumental in supporting the foodbank’s mission to provide essential supplies to those in need.

“Your kindness and donations mean so much to us,” a spokesperson for the foodbank stated. “Your support allows us to continue offering crucial assistance, not only in the form of food but also through practical and compassionate aid when it is needed most.”

The impact of these donations cannot be overstated. From April to December 2024, the Chichester District Foodbank supported 4,657 people, with 39% of recipients being children. This marks a 2.8% increase compared to the same period in 2023, highlighting the growing demand for food aid in the community.
