Foodbank figures reveals impact of Covid on Stroud Thousands of emergency food parcels were handed out to people hardest hit by the pandemic. A Trussell Trust report shows 11,366 emergency food packages were distributed by its Wiltshire foodbanks over the year, 4,613 of them to children - around 89 every week. The calls for help came as families were affected by furlough and lockdown restrictions like the closures of schools. Jean Colgrave, co-manager at the Warminster foodbank – which is not part of the Trussel Trust – said that since the start of the pandemic the service has distributed nearly 4,000 parcels to families and individuals.
