Good idea, teachers and parents probably know which families are struggling or too proud to go to town centre food banks.

Food banks are a brilliant example of how local communities help in a small way to support those less fortunate. It really is heartening. However, it is scary that they need to exist in this day and age. In my town there are three I know of. Something is going seriously wrong if their use is becoming the norm.

I wouldn't have needed a food bank at school. School meals were so atrocious I gained the habit of not eating at all.
