题目

On the surface, Pendle Food for All (PFFA) might seem like an ordinary membership organization charity. But the liveliness the place has at its weekly Thursday opening times sets it far apart. It's a warm and welcome en vironment with a unique feeling, offering a place for volunteers and members alike to socialize, gain confidence, and make friends.PFFA has a vital role to play in supporting the people of the local area, especially in these times of increasing hardship. As is clear immediately upon walking inside, this isn't a traditional food bank. In fact, it functions rather like a supermarket, as trustee (受托人) Vicki Devonport is keen to explain."People get 10 points to spend, and most items are worth a point—things like meat, dairy, sanitary products, as well as essentials such as bread, sugar and eggs," says Vicki. "Because we want to encourage healthy eating, there tends to be multiple fruits and vegetables per point, and, simply due to how expensive they have become, we have to ration (定量供应) some items like oil by making them two points. It's really good though, people can get about£15-£20 worth of goods from us weekly! It gives our members a bit of choice, and that choice brings an added sense of dignity."PFFA really is a brilliant project. Given the significant impact PFFA has had on local Pendle communities, it is hardly a surprise that they won BBC Radio Lancashire's Community Group Award back in December 2022. And with that award will hopefully come well-deserved recognition and support.The food club operates from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm' on Thursday at The Zone, Nelson. Support is always welcomed, and, with the inconsistent nature of business funding and commitment, every little really does help. "Generally, we're looking for people who can commit," Vicki explains, "from trustees with skills in marketing and social media, to businesses ready to make a monthly commitment."
