Crikey Beanie, that's not going to be easy is it. Even if people donate money instead of food while you're closed there's no guarantee you can buy what's needed. I've just been reading TKM&XX are closing all their stores and are giving all their food to charity, not that I knew they did food. Do you have any restaurants/shops near you that are closing that you could ask? I'm just thinking out loud because what was given to DD and staff could easily have been given to a FB although to be fair a lot of it was fresh stuff that needed eating quickly. xx6

Morning Beanie, hope you got a better night's sleep. Hopefully something will be done to help the foodbanks and those struggling to buy food during this crisis. The news this morning sounds a little more optimistic.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5

Morning Beanie hope you got some sleep.
Do you use the same store regularly for the foodbank items? If you take proof of where it's for our local supermarket have a sign saying the limit can be lifted for those who are working with the vunerable (care homes/school clubs etc) doesn't really help round here as the shelves are literally empty! But maybe your store has a similar policy?

At least the schools are trying to sort something out for those on free school meals, so hopefully that's one less thing for your clients to worry about,,, and you. Hope you got a good nights rest. xx 7 -
Life sounds difficult, beanie, I'm sorry to hear it - and you sound exhausted, I hope your sleep was better last night.
