Renfrewshire Foodbank
The demand for the Foodbank in Renfrewshire continues to increase.
During 2024 emergency food parcels were provided to 10,405 people which breaks down to 7095 adults and 3310 children. A truly heart-breaking number of children not having the security of something as basic as food.
At this time of year, the stock decreases significantly as we are between the generous donations usually received at Easter and Harvest.
We continue to need tinned foods, meat, fish, soup, vegetables, pasta sauce, as well as cereals, biscuits, long life milk, diluting juice. We also welcome donations of toiletries particularly shampoo and shaving items, pet food and chocolate/sweets.
Donations can be dropped of at the Church on Sunday or at the Cornerstone when it is open for Chit Chat, Coffee Stop or Services.
The One World group have a rota to collect the donations and take them to the Renfrewshire Foodbank warehouse.
Sadly, Erskine Bishopton Inchinnan Unites (EBI Unites) based at the Church of the Nazarene has now closed which leaves the Renfrewshire Foodbank as the only local option for people in our community facing food poverty.
