Eating, a vital need.
Did you know that jobholders account for a large portion of the 16,000 monthly users of food banks?
For instance, Sandra and Eric each work over 40 hours a week, as a cashier and a store clerk respectively. Their living expenses keep rising, mainly the rent and the grocery bill, but also the regular medication for their little last born. To ease their financial burden while ensuring their children eat three meals a day, Sandra and Eric visit their local food bank every month. This valuable support provides them with a short but timely financial break that allows them to stay the course.
In today's circumstances, your contribution would greatly lighten the burden for families.
