Dietary requirements
Our foodbank can usually adapt your food parcel to meet your dietary needs, for example, gluten free or vegetarian. When you arrive at the foodbank centre, a volunteer will chat to you about an special dietary requirements you may have.
We also usually have toiletries and toilet roll, and sometimes non-standard items such as tomato ketchup and other sauces, Marmite and stock cubes as well as some sweet treats. You will be invited to help yourself to these items.
