In January 2025, we distributed a total of 547 food parcels, with 40% going to children.
Each emergency food parcel we provide contains three meals a day for three days, for each family member – meaning we provided 4,923 meals in just one month:
- Total parcels distributed: 547
- For adults: 330
- For children: 217
We provide more than food
Our food parcels can be a lifeline for those struggling to afford the essentials, especially in January, with high energy bills and the impact of Christmas spending. Our food parcels also contain other items such as pet food, baby food, nappies and hygiene products.
We work closely with referral agencies and support organisations, using insights from food voucher distribution and food bank visits to connect people with vital services that can help with issues such as debt, housing, caring and health.
A Citizens Advice Adviser now attends our Chichester food bank sessions and offers remote support across the district.
We also value feedback from those who use our services, providing various ways to share experiences. Listening helps us advocate for real change.
