Lockdown has meant more cash and fewer food deposits for charity
The way the Manx public has donated to the Isle of Man Foodbank has changed during the coronavirus pandemic.
The charity says it's seen an increase in cash donations and fewer food donations during lockdown, when some residents haven't been able to go to the shops as often as normal.
Demand for food parcels initially rose from 150 to 200 per week at the start of the outbreak, before help from other voluntary group lessened the load on the foodbank.
Neal Mellon from the charity wants to work with those newer organisations to ensure continuity for those in need of assistance:
GNAAS named the official charity partner for TT 2026
Misuse of AI causing harm to the Island's young people
Consultation on government first time buyer schemes to close
Commissioners disappointed that Local Government Bill not discussed in Keys
Isle of Man inflation rises to 3.3% in December
