Food Parcel Pack List

A free printable food parcel list for packing and checking one parcel — household size, stated dietary needs, every item packed, and signatures for handing it over.

First page of the Food Parcel Pack List — Send out a parcel that has been checked twice against what the household said they can eat, and keep a record of what they were actually given.

What this sheet is for

Send out a parcel that has been checked twice against what the household said they can eat, and keep a record of what they were actually given.

Who it is for

Food bank volunteers, community larders, churches running a crisis store and anyone packing food parcels for households.

How to use it

  1. Write the household size and their stated dietary needs before you pack anything.
  2. List each item as it goes in, with the quantity.
  3. Tick the date-checked column as you pack, not afterwards.
  4. Have a second volunteer check the parcel against the list and initial it.
  5. Sign the parcel out when it is collected or delivered.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: One parcel, packed and checked: what went in it, who it is for and who handed it over.

Check the needs box before packing. Write the household's own stated dietary needs and anything they cannot eat in the box below before you pack, and check every item against it. What a parcel contains is your project's decision, so the contents list here is blank for you to fill.

Write-on lines: Parcel reference · Date packed · Adults · Children · Packed by · Dietary needs, allergies or items to avoid — as the household stated them · Cooking facilities

Contents — one line per item so the parcel can be checked without opening it

Table, 10 rows: Item · Qty · Date checked · Packed · Checked · Notes

Signature strip: Handed over by · Collected / received by · Date

Questions

Why is the contents list blank?

Because what goes in a parcel is your project's own decision, shaped by what you hold and who the parcel is for. A printed list would be wrong for most projects and would quietly become a standard nobody set.

Why two sets of initials on each line?

Because a missed allergen is the mistake that matters most here, and a second pair of eyes on the list costs a minute. Use one column if your project packs single-handed.
