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 highlight that there is nothing wrong in needing to visit a foodbank and ask for help, we ALL can go through moments in life 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.

-----

Each sixer will receive an amount of cash that will allow them to buy something the foodbank may need,

With the list and money that are given each sixer will need to:
- discuss what is that they want to buy
- locate it in the supermarket
- ensure they have sufficient money
- purchase it

Post activity discussion to Supermarket

It there is enough time, leaders and participants can discuss about the activity, how they felt, how they reached an agreement of what to buy, how did they find the item, how did they plan what to do with the money....
