1456 Food Parcels…

... were distributed to 866 adults and 590 children in 2016, providing much needed help to local people trying to deal with a crisis.

Each client came with a red voucher, following consultation with one of our referral agencies, and was met by a volunteer with a cup of tea while the food parcels were made up in the warehouse. For clients at Lyttelton Well and the Children’s Centres the food was in pre-packed boxes sent from the warehouse.

Demand was little changed from 2015 and we continue to rely on all our regular donors to maintain our stocks of food and non-food items. Although we are well stocked with some items, beans and soup for example, we can run low of other items, so please check our shortages posts on facebook and this website.

Thank you all for what you do for the foodbank.
