We often have fresh bread. We also have other food donated such as jam, squash, gravy, sweets and jelly. We usually have a supply of pet food.

We are often able to help with toiletries, toilet rolls, feminine hygiene products, nappies & baby food, cleaning and laundry items.

DIETARY REQUIREMENTS

Our foodbank can usually adapt your food parcel to meet your dietary needs, for example, gluten free, vegetarian or suitable for making with hot water from a kettle. When you arrive at the foodbank centre, a volunteer will chat to you about any special dietary requirements you may have.
