I agree with you BeanieWAS at the foodbank today & really it so makes me realise that in some ways I am so so lucky.:If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

We have a big green bin at work and collect for the local food bank. I often feel glad that I am able to put stuff in it , not the other way round.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

No, I dont think so.
I would have to arrange to get them to him but not make a big deal out of it. Also it is quite diddicult to guess estimate a size.I am a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Mortgage Free Wannabe & Local Money Saving Scotland & Disability Money Matters.

In my line of business Beanie, I issue vouchers for the food bank and sometimes people don't always want to take them. It is there for a reason though to help people who need it .
I can't think of a way to suggest to get trousers to your recipient. In our area where I work we have something called the not shop where all the clothes are donated and people can go in and get stuff for free , is there anything like thst near you thst you could suggest to the recipient.This is a system account and does not represent a real person.
