[quote:Anonymous Coward 1232806:MV8xNjQzMTUyXzI3MTM4NTMwXzlGODc4MzdC] [quote:2012pl:MV8xNjQzMTUyXzI3MTM4NDM3XzIxN0NFRg==] here you go, the beginning: Tens of thousands of benefits claimants will be referred to food banks by the Government, which is worried that many Britons face a stark choice: starvation or feeding themselves by begging or stealing. From tomorrow, jobcentres in England and Wales will refer the needy to charity-run food banks that will give them a food parcel. It is the first time in living memory that hungry people will have been passed on to charities in this way. [/quote] Read a bit fuether down for the real numbers. 40% increase over last year. The total given emergency food boxes will rise from 61,000 in 2010 to an estimated 100,000 this year, according to the trust, which predicts that half a million Britons will need help by 2015. The latest available figures reveal that, in 2008-09 in England and Wales, almost 2.4 million people applied for crisis loans. Only 1.7 million received an initial award, meaning almost 700,000 were left waiting for a loan or had their applications turned down. [/quote]
