Intro

- 10m talk about foodbanks:
What are food banks?
Food banks are a bit like supermarkets, but everything is free. They are for people who struggle to afford to buy enough food to eat.
The products available in food banks consist of basic items that people need to live, most of which are given to the charities by members of the public.
It's not just food available, though. Other essential items like loo paper and soap are also available.

It is important to hoghlight that there is nothign wrong in needing to visit a foodbank and ask for help, we ALL can go through moments inlife when things do not work as expected.

In the same way if things are going fine for us, we should not neglect those in need, hence we can collaborate with your local foodbanks.
