Why did I see someone collecting food parcels in a nice car when they claim they can't afford food?

Many of our clients are working - sometimes at two or three jobs - but still in crisis. They might have recently lost their job, in which case selling their car might disadvantage them in the jobs market. Rest assured that our service is not about giving freebies to the lazy or greedy. Our clients are referred to us because of genuine need, and we support them while they get back on track.

What food donations do you accept?

We generally ask that all donated items have a long shelf life (i.e., the "use-by" date is a long way off). We cannot store fresh fruit/vegetables, or any items which need to be kept in the fridge or freezer.
