FAQ

Who are the parcels available for?

Our foodbank parcels are not available to the general public. We work in partnership with over 90 Northamptonshire schools, as well as other local organisations, to provide food parcels through these organisations directly to those who will benefit from them.

What’s in a Food Parcel?

Our Food Parcels contain a variety of food items weighing in at between 13-15 kilos total. This includes foods such as pasta, rice, sauces, tinned goods, cereal and other snacks.

I’m a school or local organisation, how can I access the food parcels?

We run a schools partnership program, which provides a range of essential services to all our 90+ Northamptonshire School Partners. This includes the provision of our food parcels – if you are a school interested in joining this program, please get in touch via hello@mccarthydixon.org.uk.

Similarly, if you are looking to refer a client on behalf of a Northamptonshire Organisation providing welfare and social care services, please contact hello@mccarthydixon.org.uk for further information.

I’m a member of the public, can I get a food parcel?

Our foodbank is not available to the general public, however we will try to organise a food bank referral when possible for people in emergency and crisis situations.
