Concerned about those struggling during the pandemic, 12-year-old Isaac Winfield turned his garden shed into a a food bank.

The youngster, who lives in Redditch, a town in Worcestershire, England, wanted to do something to help those in need. Using his birthday money, Winfield started a food bank in 2020. It quickly grew to the point that his family bought the shed to store the hundreds of donated items, according to a story on the Good News Network website.

The family always donated to food banks and, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Winfield would take donations to school so they could be given to people in need, his mom Claire told the reporter. A transfer to a new school, which lacked a similar program, meant a change in plans was required.
