Utrecht – The purchasing power of the Dutch is falling sharply and poverty is increasing. As a result, the food banks are becoming increasingly crowded, and even double earners or people with their own home are knocking on the door. For this reason, the food bank will probably increase the amount that people are allowed to earn before they can knock on the door for help, says Nico Jongerius, chairman of the food bank in Overvecht in Utrecht.
