We like to give the people who come to us a choice on what they would like and need in their food parcel. Majority of our food banks have adopted a ‘social supermarket’ which means that they can go around the food bank with a social worker and using a point system based on their needs they pick the food items that themselves and their family needs.
Our food banks have key non-perishable items such as canned food, rice, cereals and other essential grocery items. Fresh items such as fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy and bread are added before a client leaves with their food by our volunteers and staff. Hygiene, cleaning products and even pet food are available depending on the clients needs.
