DON’T FORGET THE LOCAL COLLECTION POINTS IN MOST LOCAL SUPERMARKETS.
100,000+ OF OUR FELLOW FAMILY / KINSHIP CARERS HAD TO RESORT TO A FOOD BANK IN THE LAST CALENDER YEAR.
CHILDREN … MANY LOCAL FOOD BANKS ARE ALSO ACCEPTING TOYS AND CLOTHING.
( 130.000 or so considered " Homeless " for Christmas 2018 … and the numbers not known to be homeless ? )
Call it what you like … the aftermath of a natural disaster ?
Trouble is , this is a man / woman made disaster … called AUSTERITY !
