Volunteers encounter negative comments
The man behind the Isle of Man Foodbank says there's still a stigma attached to it.
Neil Mellon made the comments while speaking about the work of the charity on Manx Radio's Perspective programme.
He said its volunteers can encounter some rather negative attitudes and comments when they're out asking for and collecting donations:
