Inside a British food bank

World Update

Available for over a year

More than 40 Church leaders in Britain have called on the government to end what they’re calling a hunger crisis in Britain. They blame changes in the welfare system for the growing use of food banks, where the country’s poorest families receive free food from charities. The government says it wants to help people "stand on their own two feet" by cutting welfare dependency. But what’s it like for those receiving help from food banks? Dan Damon went to one in west London.
