Many Manningham charities are seeking assistance, as supplies have been dwindling following a noticeable increase in demand during COVID-19.

As the current health crisis stretches on and the economic impact continues, more people are relying on charities and churches for their food supplies, including families who have never asked for assistance before. 

Stage 4 coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions have changed the way that charities and churches accept food donations due to the stay-at-home orders. Gift vouchers can be purchased from local supermarkets and mailed, or e-gift cards can be purchased and emailed directly to the support organisation.
