Cost-of-living: Smethwick community food pantry in crisis as demand grows
A community food pantry is "in crisis" as demand for help rises alongside increasing food prices, a charity says.
People pay £5 for £25 worth of food from the service provided by North Smethwick Development Trust in the West Midlands.
But as demand grows with the cost-of-living crisis, organisers say they are struggling to source or pay for the food required because of rising prices.
