Food Parcels
Should anyone need a food parcel, or perhaps know of someone else who does, then referrals can be obtained through agencies such as Doctors, Schools, Citizen’s Advice and CHAT, as well as a host of others. Alternatively, contact the coordinator direct by phone, text or email using the details above.
Our Food Bank parcels have been created to provide a household with enough food for 5 days’ worth of meals, adjusting the amounts for the number of children and adults within the home.
We can also adapt the food parcel according to the cooking facilities that you have available – we are aware that some people don’t have a hob and need food that can be microwaved or made up using a kettle. Please do discuss your particular requirements with us so that we can provide you with the items that you need.
We will attempt to address any specific dietary needs you may have e.g. vegetarian, gluten free etc, however, we do ask that you take responsibility for checking all products we send to you to ensure they are safe for you to consume.
