There is hope for humanity in the work of love and charity that they are doing; long may such community continue when the need for food banks cease, by the grace of God and the efforts of people.

Bless you for caring, for giving your time and energy, and for providing people with food for their stomachs and their souls. You are making a difference by showing that there are good people who listen and advise, and that it is possible, even in these difficult times, to change your course and stop your downward spiral. Keep up the good work.

In the 5th richest economy in the world people are going without food. The volunteers are amazing and a contrast to those who believe they need to run government in the interests of a rich elite. The beautiful portraits from Sarah Ainslie show the true humanity of the volunteers.
