Founder Emma Vigus Managing Director of MIO is supporting the Salisbury Trussell Trust food bank.

Salisbury local community have set up a facebook group for villagers and residents to inform everyone of essential food and toiletry items that are in short supply at the food bank.  Donations are taken to Waitrose which is one of the drop off points for the food bank.

Food banks are in high demand in normal times, due to the coronavirus pandemic a huge rise in people and families needing urgent food is continuing in great numbers.

There are many ways how you can support, donate and volunteer.

Salisbury Foodbank have made the following announcement:
