Colchester Foodbank dishes up self-heating meals

One of the busiest foodbanks in the east has taken delivery of 18,000 self-heating meals to help homeless people, sofa surfers, refugees and struggling families across the Colchester area.
Electricity firm UK Power Networks donated two lorry-loads of long-life meals to Colchester Foodbank, after they proved a hit with engineering crews working from their vans, often in remote locations and around the clock. Each box includes a heat pad that can be activated to warm the meal.
