Requests from agencies
Wantage and Grove Food Bank is happy to accept requests for food parcels from any agency which has identified a person/family in need. It is assumed that the agency will also be able to further support the person/family with advice or practical help.
Wantage and Grove Food Bank does not accept requests for food parcels from individuals.
We will accept referrals from any relevant agency such as: Vale Community Impact, Job Centres, social services, a doctors’ surgery, health workers, churches, schools and charities looking after the well-being of a person/families.
The Food Bank will need
- the client’s name,
- their address and contact number if possible
- the number of adults and children to be catered for
- a brief reason for the parcel
- whether the client will need a repeat parcel in a week’s time
- an idea of when the client is at home to receive the parcel
