The King was overheard to remark that he was impressed with the size of the leeks when he took a tour of the group's garden nearby, where volunteers grow their own vegetables.The King meeting Annie McCormack and Clare Slight during a visit to the Broke Not Broken food bank Ms McCormack said demand for food parcels has soared in recent times due to the cost of living crisis and the charity is grateful for all donations it receives."Everything is going up and a lot of people with jobs are coming to use the food bank now.
"We're giving out hundreds of parcels a month and spending between £500 and £1,000 a week buying in enough food to meet that demand."
