Contributions from supermarkets among reasons for increase
The Isle of Man Foodbank received a record number of donations during last year's collections.
One of the organisation's directors David Gawne says it's partly due to an increase in contributions at local supermarkets leading up to the festive period.
He told Manx Radio how grateful he is for the kindness shown:
