THE city’s foodbank has praised the community s ‘fantastic generosity’ after donations flooded in following an appeal for help over Christmas. Earlier this month, Worcester Foodbank launched its appeal after the demand for their services increased steadily over the course of the pandemic. Manager Grahame Lucas said last month was the third busiest the foodbank has faced since it opened eight years ago. Following the appeal, the foodbank quickly received the support of the community. Mr Lucas said: The donations were coming in quicker than we could sort them to the point where we virtually ran out of space - it s just a testament to the fantastic generosity of the community.
