The charity is now a part of the 'BanktheFood' app which provides daily updates so that residents can see which food items are needed the most.

It also shows all the drop-off locations in the area, making it simpler for people to shop for what they need and to get to the foodbank quickly.
A spokesperson from the charity commented: "We would really appreciate it if you could share this locally to help support us to build up stock levels in our warehouse.
"We really appreciate all the support from our kind community who donate to help us to support foodbank users who are in crisis."
You can find 'BanktheFood' on your device's app store and sign up for free to help your local organisation.
