Parcels are put together using the food and essential items available to us through donations. We do our best to provide a useful selection of food for each individual or family.

Parcels generally provide approximately three meals a day for all family members for three days.
We may have limited supplies of items such as baby food, nappies and pet food, but these cannot always be guaranteed.
