## Key points

- Goole’s Mission Trinity Foodbank is closing after 16 years.
- It supports 50 to 60 families and individuals weekly.
- Rising costs and falling donations drove the decision.

## Summary

Mission Trinity Foodbank in Goole is closing after 16 years, as rising costs and falling donations have made it difficult to keep operating. The closure will leave local residents and families with fewer sources of support amid the cost of living crisis.

Founder David Sample said the foodbank supported about 50 to 60 families and individuals each week and had to buy food up to three times weekly to meet demand. It will continue until January; Sample, who now runs it as a volunteer after being made redundant, said he would welcome someone taking it on if they could find new funding.
