While food banks are necessary for those who really need them, there are others who take advantage. A daughter of a friend of mine is in charge of a local social centre where there is a food bank. She witnessed one woman get her food from the food bank and then went two doors down and booked a party for her daughter, with all the the trimmings. It was quite expensive. This is where they problem lies. I understand that it's difficult to police but there does need checks to be made.
