I'm a regular food bank Frau and I've had so many surprises in my donated goods. Yep, there's beans and pasta but last week I got a box of Twinings teabags, a frozen chicken, choc biscuits and a giant box of pricey cereal.One bad thing Jack does is spread this myth that all food banks will do is give you 12 cans of spaghetti hoops and beans, prunes, sardines, spam, rice pudding. I’m sure a lot of people would be put off. The reality is many (at least the ones I’m involved with) will try to give you a lot of choice and more importantly act as a contact service for referrals to sort out the root cause which is usually debt and/or mistakes in benefits and/or substance abuse. Jack propagates a myth we shove them out the door with a box full of random duplicate tins.
As usual Jack is talking out of her bum.
