For the past several years, I have donated approx £20 in food to the Thurso Food Bank.

However, I wont be doing it again as I am somewhat alarmed by the way some individuals abuse its generosity.

For example, a neighbour of mine spend the afternoon drinking in a local bar then proceeded up the street to the Thurso Food Bank where he left with several bags of groceries. His wife/partner is in employment. If you can spend money drinking in a pub, then you are abusing the Thurso Food Bank.

I'd like to hear other peoples views on this.
