The foodbank is taking part in Food Bank Fortnight, which runs from Wednesday, October 1 to Tuesday, October 14. Foodbank Fortnight is coordinated by the charity BanktheFood, which helps modernise food donations through its free app. Katy Mendes-Day, director of Uttlesford Foodbank, said: "The generosity of our community keeps us going, and Food Bank Fortnight gives us a brilliant opportunity to restock our shelves with the things we truly need. "Using the BanktheFood app, supporters can see our most-needed items in real time—whether it’s long-life milk, tinned fruit, or toiletries." Donations can be dropped off at Uttlesford Foodbank, Stansted House, Shire Hill, Saffron Walden, or at Tesco, Aldi, Waitrose and Co-op stores across Uttlesford.
