Volunteers said that they usually have 45 food parcels going out of their centre every five days and that the number is likely to increase in the colder months.  

They are also preparing food parcels for Ukrainian families until they receive their grants from West Oxfordshire District Council.

If you are hosting anyone in this situation, get in touch via their Facebook page.
