Why we need Food Banks!<\/h3>\n

It is a sad fact that almost 1 in 3 children (4.5 million)<\/a> in the UK are now living in relative poverty. The continuing rise in the cost of living regarding food and fuel is putting pressure on many households. The income and essential expenditure gap identified by Trussell, and the Joseph Rowntree Foundation<\/a> is increasing. Whist food banks are not a long-term solution they provide a stop gap to help families and individuals through hardship. The average cost of a food family food parcel for 3 days is \u00a338 (Trussell)<\/p>\n
