02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Renfrewshire Foodbank offers support to anyone at a time of crisis in Renfrewshire. We offer 3 day balanced nutritious food parcels to individuals and families who are in need. Our service is deemed to be a short term service where we would look to support people through our referral networks to get back on their feet and be better able to self manage their own situation. We also have a Financial Inclusion team who can work with people to try and maximise their income and we also have a Fuel Poverty project to tackle fuel insecurities.
