Warwick District Foodbank August appeal for items
Each month Warwick District Foodbank updates its 'most needed parcel items' to give residents an idea of what is needed.
The foodbank, which has a site at the Kenilworth Centre, also gives a list of items that it has plenty of.
Food parcels provide three days of nutritionally balanced, non-perishable food for individuals or families.
In Kenilworth, item donations can be made by the checkouts at Waitrose and at Sainsbury's seven days a week.
In November last year it was revealed by operators The Trussell Trust that up to 34 per cent of food parcels in the district were given to young people.
A statement on its website says: "Over 90 per cent of the food distributed by foodbanks in The Trussell Trust network is donated by the public – that's why your food donations are absolutely vital to our ability to give everyone referred to us a balanced and nutritious three day supply of food."

- Tinned rice pudding
