Food Drop In List

Friday 15th May 2009

Individuals and organisations such as The Basement Project, Christians Together, Halifax Parish Church, Salvation Army and the St. Augustine's Centre are working in partnership to establish a drop-in point for 'Food and Support'.

The aim of the project is:

To enable vulnerable people who have a 'chaotic lifestyle' in Halifax
To access a drop in to collect a free food parcel, gain support and guidance helping them to move on from their current situation.

Recipients will include those who are experiencing homelessness,
destitute asylum seekers, substance misuse clients and people suffering extreme hardship.

Items we are needing are as follow
(Red means we are out of them or down to 2 or 3 tins)
(Blue means we are very, very short of the item)

Milk, Tinned Pies, Tinned Carrots,
Margarine, Tinned Fruit, Tinned Sweetcorn,
Coffee, Milk Puddings, Hot Dogs,
Tinned Meat, Steamed Puddings, Jams,
Tinned Fish, Breakfast Cereals, Tinned Tomatoes,
Tinned Potatoes, Instant Potatoes, Macaroni cheese,
Tinned meals, (chilli con carne - minced beef etc.)


Deodorants (Mens and Ladies)
Shampoo, Shower Gel, Toothpaste,
Toothbrushes, Toilet Rolls, Washing Powder Tablets


Bread, Pasta Sauces, Baked Beans,
Sugar, Curry Sauces, Biscuits,
Noodles, Toilet Rolls, Tin Openers (36p in Wilkinsons)


Making up 40 parcels means:-
40 cartons of milk, 40 toilet rolls, 40 tins meat, 40 loaves of bread etc.
This is quite a shopping list, but if we each put in a little we can give out to a lot.
