A RECORD number of people were forced to rely on Malmesbury and District Foodbank over Christmas to avoid going hungry.
Foodbank volunteers said in December they gave out 115 three-day supplies of food, of which 31 were for children.
That compare to 99 three-day supplies of food with 37 being for children in 2018.
