Hello all
Just been down to the local FoodBank to talk about voluntering - they need someone to "do things" with the computers
Anyway, I was chatting to the person in charge and she was commenting about how hard they have been hit by the cost of living crisis (not being political - just a fact) and how donation have dropped
They used to pick up the donations from Tesco 3 times a week - it is now down to once due to drop in volume
Also - they used to have about 1/4 of their warehouse (really just an old social club!) just for beans - which are a main staple
they now only have about 25 ish crates of tins left
apparently no FoodBank has ever run out of beans - but it is getting close
So - point in this post
If you can afford it please drop something off if there is a collection point near you - most big supermarkets have one
She said - even a tin of Tesco beans helps
Again, IF you can afford it a monthly donation helps a lot - even a quid or so
if you feel you can
that all
thanks
P.S. please don;t go all NACA in comments - leave that to "the other place" if you feel the need - I'll see you there!
