TRUSSELL TRUST: FOODBANKOUR COLLECTION DATE: MONDAY 17 SEPTEMBER

The Trussell Trust runs a network of over 400 foodbanks, giving emergency food and support to people in crisis across the UK, where thirteen million people live below the poverty line. This can be for a range of reasons. In the last year the Trussell Trust gave 1,332,952 three day emergency food supplies to people in crisis.Stopping hunger is about more than food which is why they also provide a range of services like money advice and Fuel Banks, helping people to break the cycle of poverty.


Where do the donations come from?Schools, churches, businesses and individuals donate non-perishable, in-date food to a foodbank. Large collections often take place.

What happens to the donations?Volunteers sort food to check that it’s in date and pack it into boxes ready to be given to people in need. Over 40,000 people give up their time to volunteer at foodbanks.

Who uses the Foodbank?Foodbanks partner with a wide range of care professionals such as doctors, health visitors, social workers and police to identify people in crisis and issue them with a foodbank voucher.Foodbank clients bring their voucher to a foodbank centre where it can be redeemed for three days’ emergency food. Volunteers meet clients over a warm drink or free hot meal and are able to signpost people to agencies able to solve the longer-term problem.


WHAT IS IN A FOOD PARCEL?The Trussell Trust have worked with nutritionists to develop a food parcel that contains sufficient nutrition for adults and children, for at least three days of healthy, balanced meals for individuals and families.A typical food parcel includes:CerealSoupPastaRiceTinned tomatoes/ pasta sauceLentils, beans and pulsesTinned meatTinned vegetablesTea/coffeeTinned fruitBiscuitsUHT milkFruit juice


Many foodbanks also provide essential non-food items such as toiletries and hygiene products, helping people in crisis to maintain dignity.Alongside the standard food parcel, foodbanks try to provide the following essential non-food items to adults and children in crisis, helping them maintain dignity and feel human again.

Toiletries – deodorant, toilet paper, shower gel, shaving gel, shampoo, soap, toothbrushes, tooth paste, hand wipes

Household items – laundry liquid detergent, laundry powder, washing up liquid

Feminine products – sanitary towels and tampons

Baby supplies – nappies, baby wipes and baby food.
