I was pretty desperate when I first visited [my local food service]. I was skipping most meals to the point where at its worst, I probably had one slice of bread and margarine a day. The most important change in my life is having a decent meal. I no longer have to skip a day or two. I’m slowly getting healthier and stronger. I now have a purpose, a sense of worth. Something I didn’t have before.
