Dietary requirements
Our foodbank can usually adapt your food parcel to meet your dietary needs, for example, gluten free, halal or vegetarian. When you arrive at the foodbank centre, a volunteer will chat to you about an special dietary requirements you may have.
Many foodbanks also provide essential non-food items such as toiletries and hygiene products, helping people in crisis to maintain dignity and feel human again.
