Here are some FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
What’s in a typical food parcel?
A typical food parcel contains a minimum of five days of nutritionally balanced, non-perishable, tinned and dried foods that have been donated by the local community. A typical food parcel includes: breakfast cereal, soup, pasta, rice, pasta sauce, baked beans, tinned meat, tinned vegetables, instant mash, UHT milk, tea, coffee, sugar, tinned dessert and biscuits. Some foodbanks also provide fresh produce if they are able to.
Will the food parcel cater for my whole family?
Our foodbank will try to adapt your food parcel according to the number of adults and children. They will also endeavour, where possible, to provide foods that are age appropriate and in suitable quantities for your children. We can sometimes offer baby foods, but not SMA milk.
I have a baby, can you help with supplies of nappies and baby food?
Our foodbank usually carries a small stock of nappies and baby foods, which we can add to your parcel. Please let the foodbank know if you need additional items for your baby. We will also signpost you to local provision of further support where possible.
