According to the Trussell Trust, 1.6 million three-day emergency food supply parcels where given to people in crisis in the past year, a 19% increase from previous years.
This food was distributed through more than 1,200 food bank centres across the UK.
The larger portion of this food comes from donations from members of the public at a range of places, such as schools, churches and business, as well as supermarket collection points.
It took around 40,000 volunteers to collect, sort & redistribute the donated food to people in need.
