What Is A Food Bank?

Food Poverty Poem

By Lorena Thompson-Kerr

  

FOOD POVERTY UK

Gnawing, clawing angry stomachs

neighbours cooking smells inviting

But there’s no invitation to be had

Salivating, 

Drooling,

Then the tears they come

She no longer says it will be OK tomorrow

All that’s left are sighs and sorrow

She is sad

He is mad

Working 6 days a week


Mrs May please turn on your ears, 

people don’t need platitudes or attitudes, 

We need action today!

Do you hear me Mrs Theresa May?

Or do my pleas

like those of thousands

Fall on hardened ears?

Branded as Feckless & Reckless

What about the working poor?

They would prefer not to have handouts

Shame hits as they walk through the food bank door

  

Hope and nourishment in a 3-day box

& warmth & kindness for free

But shame and fear and helplessness 

They do not disappear

The Food Bank is a lifeline

To families far and near

But shame on you our government

For making children weep

  

Hungry bellies

Empty minds

They can barely concentrate

Your policies – Mrs May, they border on real hate!

Another child 

Another parent

Another empty fridge

Another step

Another door

Another withdrawal 

from the Food Bank

  

Mrs May where are your listening ears?

Have you stored them away 

In a drawer so full?

Children go hungry every day

Their drawers & cupboards bare

Mrs May is your heart so hard

That you choose to give no consideration

To the angry stomachs

And empty fridges

And children who can barely function

  

Those who run the food banks

The donators & volunteers

We give our sincerest thanks

For filling empty bellies 

& drying children’s tears

Theresa you have washed your hands

But this is your responsibility!

So, as I speak these words

I sincerely take this stand

Why you ask?

Upon what right?

It’s the rights of humanity!

Be Part of The Solution

THE FACTS

There are over 400 Food Banks throughout the UK.


Hunger is a hidden crisis in the UK, with over 1.3 million emergency boxes (3 day food supplies) distributed in 12 months.


The number of children needing food supplies was over 200,000 in a 6-month period and the number is rising. In 5 years the numbers of food supplies has increased 500%


Many of us think that only homeless people go hungry in the UK but this is not so.  Many who visit food banks are individuals and families who are working on  low incomes or are unemployed. A new benefit introduced by the Conservative government called "Universal Credit", is causing a lot of hardship for families!


You can help by donating food and/or becoming a volunteer.
