"Also, some residents don't see their families and will spend Christmas here.
"These parcels may be the only present they will get and it shows that someone cares."
Humberson Lions president Fred Smiles said: "This is first time we have delivered parcels to the Foyer.
"They provide a great opportunity for young people who need to get back on their feet and back to training, education or work.
"We support and help the community where we can, the food parcels can make a big difference to people's lives."
