Cornwall Council is supporting communities across Cornwall to ensure no one goes hungry over the Christmas and new year period. A new interactive map has been launched showing all emergency food support in towns and villages throughout Cornwall where residents in need can access food during the festive period. The new Help with Food map was created in partnership with community organisations and is online now at Let’s Talk Cornwall https://letstalk.cornwall.gov.uk/help-with-food. The initiative is part of the council’s crisis help package this winter, which includes mounting a food voucher scheme for more than 14,300 schoolchildren and college students, giving cash injections to voluntary food organisations through its Emergency Food Assistance Fund and offering free advice to residents on debt relief, benefits support and keeping warm and well.
