Devon charity introduces stigma-free food poverty service

What happened: A charity shop in Devon now allows food bank users to choose their own items instead of receiving pre-packed parcels.

Why it matters:

  • This approach aims to reduce the stigma associated with food poverty.
  • It gives individuals more dignity and control over their food choices.

MNN Take: By letting people select their own food, the charity promotes a more respectful and personalised way to support those facing food insecurity.
