Hi
People were so kind to put me on the right track with my previous question that I thought maybe someone may know the answer to another problem. I hope so as it will save a lot of telephoning in the morning.
As the heading says, mum & dad are going to have to look at going to a food bank in the future. I can't continue to subsidise their income every week by buying their food.
There is a food bank in town but I don't know the first thing about how to get enrolled with one. Do you just go down there with a list of what you want or do you have to be assessed as to what you need and they sort it out? Is this a permanent thing? Money is tight for me and if I had a bit more I would continue to buy their groceries.
I hope it isn't one of those 'assessed needs' thing as mum & dad will not want people poking their noses into their private life. They refuse point blank to ask for anything from anybody which is why I get involved, it is a question of having to.
Thank you
