Foodbank Service

We work with Northants County Council, Trussell Trust, Tesco, Asda, Waitrose, Teamwork Trust, Phoenix Resources, local Churches, Sealed Air, Rothenberger and many other partners to provide Foodbank services to those in food poverty.

Sincere thanks to Jamie at Palmers Butchers for the donation of the KCU van to assist Foodbank parcel deliveries!

No one in genuine need should go hungry in Kettering

Our Operating Model

We believe that any customer’s emergency food requirements should be met with dignity and as soon as possible. This is done through authorised Partner Agencies who normally issue food vouchers, but now actually hold food parcels on site, issuing them to customers when a need has been identified. This removes unnecessary travel, increasing efficiency. All food parcels have a food voucher attached to them which is completed on issue and returned to KCU. Each parcel contains three day food, to see what’s in a food parcel see here. This information is entered into the Trussell Trust database which links to their national database providing food need statistics for the UK. The issued food parcels are then replenished through our Foodbank Hub in Stanier Close, Kettering.

KCU Foodbank Operating Model

The organisations listed below are authorised and trained through the Trussell Trust to issue food parcels to those identified as in need.
These organisations also provide support and advice on how to deal with the core problems that have caused people to be in food poverty.
All our food parcels contain the best food we have available and the contents comply with the Trussell Trust guidelines on volumes and nutritional values.
