Help food parcels

[Pokermon]

Mum needs help if you can received food boxes from hm gov which we don't need even thou she has me and her partner that are shielding. There are more needy people that need them but we have tried stopping them to no avail anybody know how to do this as we have a regular grocery slot.

It instructs on the HM Government Emergency food package letter that comes with the food.

it says revisit: gov.uk/coronavirus-extremel...

re- register, selecting no for needing food deliveries, otherwise you will continue to receive the food parcels on a weekly basis.

Have tried three times so far.

[Hidden in reply to Pokermon]

so there is an HM Government Emergency Food Package and then there is the County council one, if yours is the latter contact your local council.

[Pokermon in reply to Hidden]

Tried that first but they told her to go to gov site will keep trying and get to the door if they drop another box but never know when he comes.

[Hidden in reply to Pokermon]

Perhaps you just need patience, government departments never act immediately.

I went back to the Government email that i first filled in and changed the need help bit to dont need help i hope this works

[skischool]

Pokermon if you tell your mum to go on the government website where she registerd there is an option to say you no longer need a food parcel.hope that helps.

[Pokermon]

Have been on there and filled it in still got another

[Blackbird6 in reply to Pokermon]

Pass them to somone else if you look on Facebook at local response groups for your area you may get some help and donate them to a food bank maybe 💕💕

[Pokermon in reply to Redrum46]

Yea I agree lots of people in need at moment will give it a go.

I contacted my local food bank and they picked up the food boxes from me. I cannot stop the delivery either I have tried.

[Pokermon]

What a good idea thanks will tell her.

My parcel comes with paperwork and a contact number if I want to cancel them. It does contain some things I can't use but so far I've drawn a blank trying to contact my local food bank. It would be good to let them have some of the things.

[Pokermon in reply to CDPO16]

Thanks only has the websight on which I have tried might put a note in the front door so if they bring it again they might be able to do there end.

If its food parcel from government. I had a call Friday from gov.uk. saying supermarkets will be ringing me to arrange delivery slot and food parcels will stop?

[Hidden]

Refuse it at the doorstep. I phoned our local authority to cancel ours having finally managed to get delivery sorted, but they still came to the house. The people delivering should ring/knock and wait for someone to come to the door before leaving (whilst waiting away from the door), at which point I told them I’d cancelled via the council, and they took it back to give to someone else. Had to do that 3 times, but I haven’t had anything since, so the msg clearly got back.

[Grandmatojack]

I have the same problem at the moment. I have twice been on the goverment site and changed that I don’t need the hamper. I’m really hoping that I don’t get another this Thursday. If I do I will ask the local food bank to collect it.

[Saracat23]

Same here. When I first registered online I said I didn’t need help with food supplies but still got a box. Since then I’ve contacted the central hub and my local council several times and although people say they’ve made a note, they still arrive. I think they’re probably so busy that cancelling the deliveries is a low priority 🙂

Hi I think to stop it go into, Gov.org look at corona virus Shielding and go thro the questions and im sure it says opt out try it. x

[Hidden]

I have had this problem and a friend told me to catch the delivery man and he can cancel it for you as the website doesn't work. I shall have to do this on Friday. Good luck
