Food Banks.

[Geordie_Rob]

I have experience of my local foodbank through offering to volunteer. The amount of council interference for a supposedly independent organisation was horrendous. Because the council provided most of the funding, they told the foodbank who MUST GET PRIORITY for food parcels. Most times, if you had a job then you were screwed basically. Also they seemed to concentrate more on furniture donations for people with nothing rather than food parcels, yet every visit by someone (either food or furniture) just gets marked down as the same.
