Lets talk food banks.

So I was wandering around my local ASDA the other day then I noticed a collection basket for the Alsager Food Bank. Now I live in a generally middle class town, it is by no means a 'struggling' area. If my middle class town needs a food bank I hate to think of how bad the situation is over all. Just imagine being in the position where you had to rely on a food bank to survive. You might think it will never happen to you but all it takes is one unexpected redundancy, the loss of a loved one or even an unexpected expense like a broken washing machine. I genuinely think that in this day and age, it's a terrible fact that people do need services like this to survive.

Imagine not being able to afford a picnic in the park, it's a reality for too many people.
