- Tinned meat

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.
As a foodbank we have always tried to provide more than the basic parcels and generally we will be able to offer you a range of fresh produce, some additional fridge and freezer items, toiletries, pet and baby supplies.
We also offer additional items during the school holidays, festive season etc
