food banks

[life on mars]

In these crazy times, we should not forget our local foodbanks

I went to pick up our local one's trolley tonight, just as i do every Friday, I have built a ramp and just wheel it into the back of my van ( saves me unloading it into boxes, time is money and all that ) and deliver it to the " office " for them, tonight it was almost empty, infact i didnt even bother to take the trolley, just filled 2 empty boxes, i popped back into the supermarket and grabbed a few boxes of cereal, what tins i could find and some multi-packs of Kitkats ( these were on offer for 1 quid ) to bulk it up a little

lets not forget them and chuck a item in as you go past

Great post are there other ways to help if you had no van I usually put stuff In the parked trolley in the supermarkets ?

This isn't unexpected, it's what happens when people get greedy and only think of themselves, the less well off and vulnerable suffer even more.

you are right, it just shocked me how empty it was, at christmas they had 2 trolleys full every week, which was a PITA for me, but all good for the people in need so i shouldnt moan

I know our local one can always do with a hand sorting out the racks now and then, as most of them are older and struggle a little with heavy lifting
