Remember most of the foodbanks require a referral from a professional (health professional, Social worker, CAB) and limit the number of times you can go there.
3 times @ 3 days each so its not like popping down to Tesco (who by the way are very generous to the foodbanks)Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
