Sam runs a food bank and says, “I spoke to a mother with four children under ten years old who was having all her benefits recalculated because her youngest is disabled and has been awarded Disability Living Allowance. She texted us at 9.00pm on a Thursday. She had enough food for breakfast, but the gas and electric was off. She lives outside our area, but her local food bank required a voucher to be issued from a referral agent. She couldn’t get one until the following Monday and then she would have to wait until Wednesday to redeem this voucher at her nearest food bank.”
