Don't forget stamina there's always the SA Food Bank. No shame, so many people are needing to use these at the moment

I saw something about these food banks on TV recently. They were saying that the problem is that you can only use them once every so often. Can't remember exactly how often, but what do people do in between?
I think it is an absolute disgrace that in our supposed first world country that is relatively rich in comparison to most,that we have people needing to do this. Surely benefits should be enough for people to survive on.

Benefits should only be there as a safety net.
These foodbanks don't just give food out to everyone, you have to fall into certain catagories in order to qualify for vouchers which are then swapped for food.
There is a foodbank in Liverpool The Whitechapel Centre, they have the same policy on who qualifies.This centre helps homeless people.
