Nutritional Food
Our parcels are provided to individuals & families based on financial need, so they could come from any of the categories above
average fortnightlymake of 70 parcels x 4 people per family
we have begun swapping out some of the tinned meat & veg in our food parcels with a choice of fresh or frozen meat, veg & fruit. We would dearly love to offer the fresh or frozen food with basic recipes that families could use to batch cook the produce & make it go further. We are looking for funding to purchase the food, donations of produce, & recipes to issue with the food
this is based on our fortnightly projection
