Support organisations in the TelfordWrekin area say demand has soared by a third. More from BBC News:
Food banks have been handed £90,000 by Telford and Wrekin Council after demand soared by more than a third.
"This is no longer a cost of living crisis, it's a cost of subsistence crisis and it's unprecedented. People have been cutting back for some time - buying less, going for the cheapest option, batch cooking - and they simply cannot cut back any more. The charity said volunteer drivers clocked up an average of 500 miles a week delivering food parcels, and appealed to businesses for one-off or regular cash donations, or even to consider sponsoring a delivery van.
