Magherafelt food bank staff and volunteers will be in Tesco from tomorrow (Thurs) until Saturday.
They will be appealing to customers to donate an item from their shopping to the Christmas appeal.
Jenny Thompson from the Trussell Trust says they've seen a 50 per cent increase from April to September.
And the demand comes largely from working families:
