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:
Victoria Road reopens following fire at unoccupied property
Public asked to avoid area while emergency services continue their work
Eating disorders 'more common than people realise' on the Isle of Man
Charity launching new support group for parents and carers of those navigating eating disorders
