This is a charity which I discovered through my wife Jane. When Jane worked at Citizens Advice in Nottingham she often had to give food vouchers to the needy and vulnerable.. Food banks offer a lifeline to poor families, the homeless and destitute,, victims of domestic abuse, refugees, and those who have been failed by the benefits system. Last year, food banks in this network provided more than 1.6 million emergency food parcels to people in crisis. More than half a million of these went to children. It’s not right that people can’t afford the basics. With your help, we can end the need for food banks.As a nation, we expect no one should be left hungry. Illness, disability, family breakdown or the loss of a job can happen to any of us. With your help #ThisCanChange.
