Cards (3)

  • food banks meet a very real need in the UK
  • a 2014 report by oxfam revealed that 350,000 food parcels were provided to people in the UK who could not afford to feed themselves
  • food banks are only a short term solution, providing a minimum of 3 days worth of food that is nutritionally balanced and non-perishable, in exchange for food vouchers
