  interesting e mail from alex at the dover food bank, permission given to reproduce it here.
  
  Hi Howard,
  
  The foodbank can be one piece in a puzzle. The agencies are responsible for deciding when someone is in a crisis and needs some food. They look at the whole picture. Foodbank is only one piece to the puzzle. For example if someone goes into an agency with difficulties, they start to look at all the possible solutions. The foodbank is only for a few days of short term crisis. This is why the only way to get food from the foodbank is to have a voucher. This helps to ensure that someone is getting all the help they need and not just food for three days. When someone is in need it can be complicated and the whole picture needs to be looked at. This why the criteria is not a specific description.
  
  Does this help?
  
  Let me know if you need more.
  
  Many thanks,
  Al
