What’s in a food parcel?
Our foodbank provides three days of nutritionally balanced, non-perishable food. We are also usually able to supply basic toiletries, nappies and pet food for cats or dogs.

- Tinned meat
- Tinned vegetables
- Tinned fruit
- Tea or coffee
- UHT milk

- Snacks
Fresh Food
In addition to your 3 day basic food parcel, volunteers will offer you a range of fresh fruit and vegetables, eggs, bread and other bakery items.
