The food bank doesn\u2019t only provide for those who are having problems with benefits, but also those in work with very low incomes, and with the rise of 0 hour contracts it\u2019s just getting worse.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unbelievable that there are people out there who would steal from those who are most in need, but especially children. We want to thank you for all your donations, not only those over the Black Friday Weekend, but since we first started supporting the West End Food Bank, the work they do for disadvantaged people in Newcastle is tremendous and wouldn\u2019t happen without your support.
