摘要
The increasing prevalence of food banks in the United Kingdom has attracted considerable public debate. This article brings the authors' experiences and observations from their involvement in one inner-city food bank into dialogue with both policy issues and the Christian theology that motivates many food bank volunteers. It argues for an attentiveness to what food banks say to society as well as what they do, and highlights their potential as spaces of encounter and mutuality.
