Charitable organisations in the Isle of Man believe there is an ever greater need to set up a food bank.
It's thought the number of people having to choose between food and other essentials is on the increase here.
A representative of the Trussell Trust - a Christian-run UK charity which sets up and runs such services - has been on the Island to discuss the possibility of establishing one.
David Gawne of the Isle of Man Council of Voluntary Organisations says other help would be provided, too:
