Alice Cooper serving food at a shelter.
Jon Bon Jovi washing dishes at his restaurant that feeds homeless people.
THAT's why they're both rock stars.

‼️ If disability cuts go ahead, nearly HALF A MILLION people will be pushed into severe hardship and at risk of needing a food bank.
But this isn't a done deal. If enough MPs vote against it, we can stop this bill becoming law.

🚨 Due to the City of LA's overspending & budget cuts, the Rapid Response SENIOR MEALS Program will be ending on Aug 31, 2024 - affecting 5,400+ seniors.
There was an effort to transfer $ from the Liability Claims account to fund Senior Meals but that got sent back to Committee.

Most households reporting severe #foodinsecurity (skipping meals/cutting back on food) don't use a food bank. @TrussellTrust figures represent the "very tip of the iceberg".
We're facing a policy-driven public health calamity. #CashFirst

As ever Audrey Flannagan of @GlasgowSEFBank tells it how it is. Like the words of so many food bank managers and volunteers up and down the country her testimony tells us much more than statistics ever could #CashFirst @TrussellScot @IFAN_UK

This is my 6th year at @FactCheck and every winter England’s NHS has been in crisis.
So when I started looking at the latest stats I was expecting to do a story about history repeating itself.
But it’s not repeating. 2022 was *so* much worse.
I can prove it in one graph.🧵

“There is nothing perfect about food poverty, there is nothing perfect about supermarket workers relying on food banks, there is nothing perfect about people being made to be grateful for the meagre crumbs given to them – we need a right to food, now.” feedbackglobal.org/nothing-p…

It’s vital that the myth that surplus food redistribution solves poverty needs to busted. Adding fridges/freezers to the equation further entrenches a charitable food aid response. This funding could go directly to people in cash so they don’t need food aid #CashFirst @IFAN_UK
If only donations of fridges and freezers to food banks would start to address growing poverty and inequality in the UK - In fact the conflation of food poverty and food waste further entrenches a charitable food aid response to poverty #PlentyToShare

The presence of charities in society is not a sign of a healthy society. It's a sign of a society that's failing its members.
Charities should be rare and focused on those few falling through universal systems, not common and utilized as a replacement for a torn social contract.

As @IFAN_UK has been saying for years @TrussellTrust data, however alarming, is only ever the tip of the #FoodInsecurity iceberg (@foodgov data below) and we know that thousands more independent food banks and other charitable food aid providers are struggling to cope.

'What’s clear from this research is that some groups are less equal and more impacted [by the cost of living crisis] than others, including our black and minority communities.' - @Halima_Begum of @RunnymedeTrust theguardian.com/society/2022…

‘Pushing people into work won't deal with the reasons people cannot work.'
I think I am absolutely correct here.
Benefits must rise in line with inflation. No ifs or buts.
