Allan ........... that's exactly what happens here.

The Vancouver Food Bank now holds a "Christmas in July" event, mainly to publicize that donations are needed all year round.

When our town's food bank opened a few years ago they had more volunteers than clients and were over stocked with donations.

Now they are constantly 'begging' for donations as they are having difficulty keeping up with the demand on the service.

Sad times :-(

It's tragic, isn't it?
Even student nurses are using them.

we have old age pensioners, families, refugees, young men and women, and street people using them .......... it seems that even middle-class folk can have problems these days.

Not to mention the food that schools are providing ...... not only breakfast and lunches but also packing backpacks with food for the kids to take home at the weekend to make sure the kids have something to eat.
