This might look like a lot of baked beans. It is not. I run my local foodbank's The Trussell Trust website, and went down for a meeting with the manager and social media manager today. This time last year, Lou was renting a garage to store baked beans in. We were telling people to stop buying us baked beans. We were worried about them going out of date before clients could eat them. Baked beans are the number one item that everyone buys for the foodbank. Today, this photo represents the total number of cans of baked beans available to every foodbank client in Stretford and surrounding areas. This is all of our beans. All of them. Why? Because foodbank use has gone up 46% in the last year. Please donate to us - https://lnkd.in/ejDHKzkJ - or to your local foodbank now. Cash will buy us more beans than you can (we get special rates) but please, even one extra tin of fruit or veg at the checkout will make an incredible difference to desperate local families near you. You might think this is something that happens to other people. You're wrong. You don't know who's using a foodbank. Many of our clients are full time workers nowadays, and we deliver in unmarked vans. We're probably delivering to someone on your street. Ask yourself: how many pay days away from a foodbank are you? What if you lost your partner, or something happened to your house/flat? What about your friends or loved ones? How are they doing for food? Think about it for a moment, and then please donate to a foodbank.

I saw this on twitter about donating to food banks. Good stuff. So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need: 1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks. 2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of. 3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles. 4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops. 5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of. 6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift. 7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care. 8. Sugar and flour are treats. 9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores. 10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some. 11. They rarely get fresh meat. 12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch. 13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef. 14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread. 15. Butter or margarine is nice too. 16. Eggs are a real commodity. 17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake. 18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated. 19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that. 20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing. In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me! #FoodBanks

The odds are always in your favour. Ever go to the bakery? You want that donut. You worked hard all week. Saved enough money. Now you want the donut. But there is a problem. Out of the 10 donuts on display, 9 are good, but there is the one low quality one. Lack of icing, smaller and less sugary than the rest. You try not to look at it, but you can’t keep your eye off of it. The baker sees you eying off the horrid don, and smiles with glee. Finally the low quality gets picked. This is how you need to strive to be. Like a bad donut. Against all odds (1/10) was able to be selected. Being the worst at your job makes you stand out. Earn it.
