To access this help, the head of the family should visit the offices of he charity during opening hours.

Food parcels from the Red Cross smacks somewhat of a third world country not one of the world's leading developed nations - something has gone wrong somewhere.

Having said that - in the UK many would let the poor and unemployed starve...

Strange world - I wonder what is the best way forward?
