Dietary requirements
Our sessions can usually adapt your food parcel to meet your dietary needs, for example, gluten free, halal or vegetarian. Your referrer will have talked to you about this. When you collect your food, confirm your requirements with a volunteer who will check your food parcel.
We often receive other donations (eg toiletries, treats, pet foods, cleaning materials) which ma=y be available at your session.
