"The cash has enabled us to get together with Jed’s Butchers and W.R Skelly & Son who have helped us out in setting up a meat voucher scheme so that we can add a voucher to each Christmas hamper parcel.
"We have also teamed up with Northern Soul Kitchen and The Mule on Rouge who have donated some vouchers for fabulous festive cheesecakes.”
The number of people supported by Berwick Food Bank is up 58% on last year, although up in excess of 200% during lockdown.
