If you need emergency food
We can provide you with an emergency food parcel containing enough non-perishable food items for three days.
To receive a food parcel, you will need a Foodbank voucher or number to bring with you to the Foodbank or collection point.
How to receive a food parcel
To receive a food parcel, you will first need to contact one of our partner agencies, who will then issue you a Foodbank voucher. There are a large number of agencies you can contact, who can also provide additional support, including:
