The Felling Food Network is only open on the 2nd Wednesday and 4th Wednesday of each month.

The Felling Food Network provides short term food support by appointment only on a Wednesday to either individuals or families in need of help and support by providing a three-day emergency food parcel for a period of up to 3 weeks.

The Felling Food Network also provides advice/signposting and referring to other support services.

FOOD SUPPORT BY APPOINTMENT ONLY

The Felling Food Network cannot simply issue a three-day emergency food parcel without asking some questions that can enable us to properly assess a persons need or where other services or organisations can help.

• If you are currently receiving help and support from an organisation for example Citizens Advice, Gateshead Council or another organisation, GP, etc, then please provide details on the Form.

Once the form is submitted to The Felling Food Network, an appointment time will be provided to you.  The appointment time will be your time to attend on a Wednesday at the Cadet Building, Wellington Street, Off Dexter Way, Felling, to collect a three-day emergency food parcel.  We would kindly ask that you attend at your provided appointment time or let us know if you are unable to attend.
