Stocks are always low on some items at Bridgnorth Food Bank and regular appeals go out over social media to cover the shortfall.

She said:"We have our own Facebook page and Twitter account which is updated regularly with news items such as the Italian Auto event coming to Bridgnorth which this year is kindly supported our work. "The website gives basic information but we find that updating the Facebook page is instant, it is easy to put pictures on there as well and it gives a good snapshot of what we do and where we are at with it on a weekly basis."
