Foodbanks or just practical food help in the community

Could you maybe get involved with the real Junk food project?

Our local one operates a "pay as you feel" cafe and also a food boutique where you purchase the items for a donation of whatever you can afford.

Many charities start off with just volunteers, but the need for effective administration sometimes makes this unsustainable in the longer term. I'd be surprised if any foodbank was not using some volunteers, but many do have at least one paid member of staff.

And Salvation Army officers are paid.

True; but this suggests the payments are not excessive.

"Our CEO and Staff Pay

The equivalent of our Chief Executive is our Territorial Leader, Commissioner Clive Adams, who is given remuneration of £15,500.

Unlike most charities our Territorial Commander and many other people in senior roles are ministers of religion and do not receive a salary. When men and women make a commitment to Salvation Army officership they make a covenant with God. They receive financial remuneration (on average between £9,500 and £15,500) to cover their cost of living and a home is provided by way of officer’s quarters."
