On your way to the game ? : Thu Jul 06, 2017 6:20 am  

Hi all you great RL supporters...St Catherine's Church, Donny Rd Food Bank have empty shelves and are appealing for tinned food, packets of pasta n rice or tea and coffee. They are open from 8am to 8.15 pm today so it would be great if we could all drop at least 1 item off there on our way to the game and fill their shelves up for them and show what a great family us RL fans are. Thank you

Too late for tonight but might be worth seeing if the club would do a collection point prematch for the Saints match.

Can anyone go in and get free food or are there any restrictions. Are you allowed to take free food if for example you smoke or say pay for Sky TV, or are a drug user or a heavy drinker. Great idea but just wondered if there were any restrictions to prevent abuse from free loaders.

Went over this dinner time with some food. The lady said they had been very busy with people needing food. Sure most of us would have a couple of tins to spare for this very good causec

Yeah there are restrictions, can't remember what exactly but you definitely have to prove you need to use a food bank.

Yes - I think they install CCTV in your house and make you wear a bodycam for a week, so they can do a lifestyle choices audit before they issue you a food parcel...

You are Ian Duncan Smith and I claim my £5 food stamps.

In Halifax after your outgoings you should only have £30 a week left to qualify

Ok that's good , I will call in with a donation . I have been tricked in the past making financial donations to then discover that less than 10 % actually goes where it is needed

Just go in and don't tell them about your life style mate.

Belly - think you need a referral from the social to use it. Do people use it could better manage there money? very probably but I give them a bag full of stuff tonight, maybe it'll go to someone who genuinely is in their booty - I hope so.
