Southern hub of main Douglas branch
A second food bank for the Island is being launched today.
The facility in Port Erin, described as a southern 'satellite hub' of the main branch in Douglas, is to be run from the town's Methodist Church.
It will be used for distribution and collection only - anyone who feels they may need to access the service is asked to contact the organisation directly.
Director Neal Mellon says it's been established in response to a surge in demand:
