What’s in a food parcel?

Our foodbank provides seven days' supply of nutritionally balanced, non-perishable food.

The Trussell Trust has worked with nutritionists to ensure that food parcels contain sufficient nutritional content for at least three days’ worth of healthy, balanced meals for individuals and families.

A typical food parcel includes:

  • Breakfast cereals
  • Soup
  • Pasta
  • Rice
  • Pasta sauce
  • Tinned beans
  • Tinned meat
  • Tinned vegetables
  • Tinned fruit
  • Tea or coffee
  • Sugar
  • Biscuits
  • Snacks

Dietary requirements

Our foodbank can usually adapt your food parcel to meet your dietary needs, for example gluten-free, halal or vegetarian. When we call to arrange your delivery, we will ask you about any special dietary requirements you may have.
