Food Banks
Rising food and fuel prices, static incomes, high unemployment and changes to benefits are causing many families to struggle to put food on the table, let alone buy basic necessities. Individuals experiencing food insecurity are forced to choose between buying food and paying other bills. Parents choose between eating dinner and giving their portion to their children. At the Salvation Army food banks, families and individuals in need of support receive grocery bags full of food items to create wholesome meals. This not only restores self-esteem, but it also reduces the stress and humiliation of asking for food. For those accessing food bank services, you will need to provide one photo ID.
