An all-Island food bank is going to be set up, with those behind it aiming to have it up and running by the autumn.
Its aim will be to help individuals and families struggling to make ends meet, and having to make difficult decisions between heating and eating, for example.
The service is the brainchild of a number of charitable and Christian organisations in the Isle of Man, with the help of the UK-based Trussell Trust, which runs food banks.
Speaking on today's Praise programme on Manx Radio, Church On the Rock's Sue Johnson updated Judith Ley on their progress:
Southern Amenity Site changes disposal policy for residents to six bags a month
Island's economy 'not in the same context' it was 18 months ago
Inmate 'likely died hours before being found'
Roadshow turnout shows public has 'lots of concern'
CCTV across schools being actively looked at
Bishop's vote and assisted dying on Keys agenda
