Oxford Mutual Aid food bank January stats:

In the last week of January Oxford Mutual Aid supplied 82 emergency food packages to 178 adults, 37 children and 19 babies. In addition they sent out 243 parcels to people who receive a weekly delivery. Those keep 473 adults, 238 children and 79 babies fed. 12 food parcels were supplied to residents of the YHA, currently supported by St. Mungo’s Oxford, and 30 packages were sent out via Syrian Sisters and Oxford Asian Women’s Voice, reaching a further 240 people.

Throughout January Oxford Mutual Aid have provided emergency support to 402 households - 2695 people. These are people who are in crisis and need support on the day. Over 1500 parcels went to people who receive regular food support.

As you can tell from these statistics, OMA may have started as a pandemic response but it has uncovered a massive underlying need and has become a crucial organisation for many people's survival.

Thank you for helping make this possible.
