We aim to provide a balanced and healthy emergency food parcel for all our clients, with a variety of long-life items, seasonal fresh produce if available and dairy. We also provide fruit and vegetable vouchers. Alongside extra bread, butchers and fruit and vegetable vouchers.
Here at Fair Frome, when available, we also include optional toiletries, cleaning products, extra store cupboard ingredients such as spices and sauces, alongside our standard parcels and fresh produce. We also adapt our parcels for specific dietary requirements such as dairy free, gluten free or vegan. We also provide specific items for babies and children like nappies and formula.
We use a standard store cupboard list of items to make each parcel and adjust this list depending on the number of recipients in each household.
The majority of food that makes up a food parcel is donated to us by local community members here in Frome who help us feed Frome.

“ The Food Bank has been a life saver for me. I never thought I would ever fall into this situation I am now in. Asking for help has been has been the hardest thing I have ever done. I ran out of food and struggling daily wondering where my next meal would come from. The Food Bank staff are all a God send and are so friendly and generous that I was in tears the first time I came. When I get back on my feet I will support and give back as I will never forget how wonderful everyone has been. Thank you.”
