I'm going to one tomorrow.
Not going to post the reasons and whereby's, just thought I'd let you know that an ab'er has reached that level, and before the pompous, righteous brigade get on their high horses, there are free areas of access to the internet.

I hope this is just a temporary blip for you and your family and that things will soon get sorted out. Good luck tomorrow. I envisage tins of tuna and tins of tomatoes. Hopefully, you can make tuna pasta bake tomorrow. That's if you like it, of course.
Very best wishes. xx

Alba, I'll second Tilly's comment above - I've just seen this and am sorry to hear of your troubles. I hope that things pick up and improve for you very, very soon. There are two food banks in my town and they are much needed due to the area I live in, and I can't find anything bad to say about them.
I hope all goes well tomorrow, All the very best xxx

Glad you listed contents, alba. There are those under the misapprehension that people attending food banks receive a trolley full of goodies. Now they can all see that what you actually get are the basics. A friend of mine received roughly the same as you, only he got a jar of lime/garlic stir fry mix and a tin of grilled herring, too. I know this because he gave said items to me:-)
And i hope your situation improves soon.

Oh right, didn't know how it worked, I assumed (obviously wrongly) that there were boxes of stuff, and you got to choose so many out of each box- for example, coupla tins from the "tinned veg" box and so on.
Does seem a shame if you don't particular like a food item they give you doesn't it? What happens if you suffer from certain food allergies?
Anyway, all that ^ is just my pointless ramblings, lol- as I've said, I really hope things look up for you soon :-)
