Did you know that emergency food parcels are tailored towards a person's needs and dietary requirements where possible? 🥫

Volunteers run through a food parcel packing list with each person before they visit.

They adapt the parcel based on the number of people in the household, their dietary requirements and will add in any non-food items that they might need. 📝

Everyone’s experience of poverty is different. That's why food banks ensure that people receive tailored, compassionate support. 💚
