Story

Do you believe everyone has the right to choose healthy food?

Food insecurity affects vulnerable individuals and families everywhere, but people seeking asylum are disproportionately affected, receiving just over £5 per day to meet all their needs. With the ongoing cost of living crisis, food insecurity is on the increase and we want to help as many community members as we can to access healthy food for them and their families.

Just £10 could provide a monthly membership to a community food pantry, enabling a family to obtain vital food items and household necessities.

£20 could provide a crisis food support voucher for someone experiencing destitution.

Our Pay It Forward fundraising scheme enables us to support individuals to access local community food pantries, which not only supports food insecurity but enables people to build new connections in their local communities.

Our emergency food vouchers provide some crisis support for individuals who are destitute.

Without donations from the public, we are faced with no longer being able to provide this crucial support to vulnerable individuals and families in Glasgow.
