Anesis North Point church food bank, Coventry
I volunteer with Penny Appeal, which organises biryanis for the food bank.
We distribute about 150 of them.
They are almost always gone.
I try to make sure we're being joyful and put a smile on someone else's face.
You don't talk to them like "a homeless person",
you just talk to them like a person.
Sometimes I see people I've grown up with, gone to school with, and think how quickly life can change.
The church that organises it gives a little talk before they distribute the food.
A little prayer in Jesus's name.
Faith is a part of it.
Being a Muslim,
I've got nothing against this;
we follow Jesus as well as Muhammad.
My wife is from India.
She came over here two years ago and had this image of England as having no poverty.
When I expose her to stuff like this, it helps her to understand.
You can't do as much as you want to do, but even a small action gives back to a community.
Spiritually, it helps me, it strengthens me.
