The Food Bank saw the demand for help rise by 36 percent last year, according to Kerk in Actie. Churches and private individuals will therefore provide food packages and supply extra products, so that all Food Banks can count on a stable supply of food all year round. “Think, for example, of oil, (perishable, ed.) milk and pasta. These are really perishable things that can be used everywhere,” says campaign manager Iwan Dekker.
