Frequently Asked Questions

How many bags of food will I be given?

You will be given enough food for three days.

How often am I allowed to go?

You can visit our foodbank a maximum of 4 times during a 6 month period.

Do I need to prove I don’t have any food?

No, however we do ask some basic questions when you collect your parcel, such as name, address and reason for needing the food.

This is so we can collate the data to present to relevant organisations and to keep track of how many food parcels we distribute.

All data is kept anonymous.

Yes, we will need to see a form of identification. This can be a utility bill, driving license, passport or birth certificate.

Do I need to be referred?

You can collect your foodbank parcel from Reconnect (opposite Asda roundabout) in Burton on Trent, Monday to Friday, 12 pm – 8 pm
