  • Pasta
  • Rice

  • Tinned beans
  • Tinned meat
  • Tinned vegetables
  • Tinned fruit
  • Tea or coffee

Dietary requirements

Our foodbank can usually adapt your food parcel to meet your dietary needs, for example, gluten free, halal or vegetarian. Ask the person who gives you a voucher to tell us about your dietary requirements, so we can do our best to make sure there’ food for you when you come to a Welcome Centre.
