How the Trussell Trust grew from a garden shed to 1,300 food banks https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/dec/27/how-the-trussell-trust-grew-from-a-garden-shed-to-1300-food-banks?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
While I quite like that this article has a local twist and I know one of the interviewees, it answers the wrong question.
The right question is WHY #trusselltrust needed to grow so damn much?
It’s such an important charity but never forget, the demand didn’t make itself. It’s a result of policy. Food banks aren’t inevitable, they’re a choice.

Between April and September - in #Scotland, the #TrussellTrust gave our 128 THOUSAND emergency #Food packages.
I give to my local food bank every week and I hate that I have to.
Remember, if you do donate, don't just give food but cleaning and other hygiene products too.
One item everyone forgets and many are desperate for, are toothbrushes, so next time you drop in toothpaste, give a couple of brushes too. Not everyone has access to a #Dentist #JoinIn

BBC News - Food prices: Clever technology tackles shortages as prices soar
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-65574441 -
A lad I work with built a thing called Donation Genie—a website that displays the items that are most needed at each specific food bank across the UK.
The BBC have very kindly done a nice write-up about what it is, why it’s needed, and what it hopes to achieve. If you are in the UK, please boost this to help get the link to those who need it.
