02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Renfrewshire Foodbank offers support to individuals and families at a time of crisis in Renfrewshire. We provide three-day balanced and nutritious food parcels to people who are referred to us through our network of local agencies. Our service is designed to be short term, offering immediate practical help while working alongside referral networks to support people to get back on their feet and be better able to manage their own situation. In addition to emergency food provision, we also offer Financial Inclusion support to help people maximise their income where possible, as well as a Fuel Poverty project to address fuel insecurities. Renfrewshire Foodbank is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation and operates with the support of volunteers, donors, and the local community.
