Foodbank

													
The foodbank started in January 2014 with a group of volunteers committed to filling in gaps that may exist in the City with emergency food provision. From consulting with a series of agencies, we found a gap in delivered food parcels for those who may not be able to make the journey to the nearest foodbank or, those who may be embarrassed to admit the situation that they are in. We support 80 households each month with emergency food parcels.
Normally a food parcel consists of Long-life milk, sugar, tea bags, cereal, pasta, soups, cooking sauce, tinned meats/veg and other snacks. These are intended to support the family for three days as they are in the process of making arrangements with the referral agency.
