PACT Food Bank

Petersfield Food Bank is run by PACT - Petersfield Area Churches Together and since it was started in September 2010 it has helped around 800 people thanks to 200 hand outs of food. Brian is keen to see more people benefit from the service who really need help but might be too proud to ask for help.
